This would depend greatly on the mechanism you have built for the Landing Gear.
There are several types of such mechanisms... rotating, sliding, rotating-cam,
telescoping, etc. It seems that the MF really couldn't make use of rotating or

BTW, Have you considered using the landing pad itself to cover up the gear
well? It seems that this is pretty close to the actual mechanism used by the
falcon.
