I am working on the digital replica of La-160 Strelka jet and it is almost completed but I am unable to find accurate references for the main landing gear. How it works to be more exact. If anyone has any clue please help!:)

Mostly I use 3DS Max but I am more and more switching to Blender. The next one will be 100% made in Blender. I don't know, if it is allowed to post here or does it have to go under the pictures and videos section of the forum, I would like to post some of my works.Attached FilesLast edited by Versus; 04 Mar 11,, 01:01.

Excellent! I have huge respect for 3D modellers. I played with Rhino 3D for a while, and it is a lot tougher than it looks, at least to me. But I can see the power in the process.
Would any other of the La series have a similar gear, at least one close enough to get started? Companies tend to use what works, what they have tooling for, and in that era, airplanes were being developed so rapidly that they'd simply use the same basic structures across several designs. In a Boeing gear set, for example, you can trace the mechanism back decades.
Did the gear tuck into the fuselage like a MiG-23 or A-7?

Take a look at the Rhino3d gallery and prepare to be blown away by the photorealistic renderings...
This is NOT a photograph!
Sorry Versus, I don't mean to jack your thread. I just get really excited about this stuff, and I wish I was better at it.

Versus,
this plane is available at IL-2 Sturmovik 1946 ww2 sim. since it is a Russian game i think it might help you in terms of accuracy.Love all, trust a few, do wrong to none; be able for thine enemy rather in power than use; and keep thy friend under thine own life's key; be checked for silence, but never taxed for speech.
