What is best: To build a parked Sea Harrier with the doors of the main landing gear open or closed.
I find pictures of both configurations and am just wondering which one is the most common one.
I have the saem question about the huge airbrake which is situated behind the main rear wheel. It apprears that this thing is almost always open, even for a parked aircraft, is this correct?
The mission: Beat the stash.

The airbrake is almost always open, and the gear doors are closed more often than not but either way would be correct. Go with whichever makes you happiest.
