yea those eduard fokker undercarriages are a tad flimsy, i have had a few break and had to repair them. i rarely use a 1/48 kit tail skid ever anymore they break so easy you sometime dont realize it popped off til its just gone. i use either shaped smashed brass tube or some of that plaststruct coated steel wire just sand the plastic coating til its shaped right drill a nice hole ,glue,paint forget. never had one of those break yet. your fokker looks super sweet bud, the addition of the etched cowl panels etc, plus the flawless paint and decal work, i venture to say,"best 1/48 d.vii i have ever seen" it is excellent on all bases.
