The landing gear of the troop transport is akin to that of the Harrier
jump jet. A pair of wheels extends near the nose and at the tail along
the center line. Each nacelle has a wheel at the tip that is exposed to
provide balance for the craft.
Toys R' Us has the transport for sale. I haven't bought it, but it
looked pretty good.
Oh, I like your transport. After seeing the movie, I wasn't too
surprised to see it pop up as a MOC.
