In general, I use wing gears whenever possible.  It gets the gear out of the engine/tank area.
More important, it eliminates the spreading that is all too common on wishbone landing gears.  The struts can move fore-and-aft, providing shock-absorbing without damage.  It's also easier to make a wing gear removable.

But, if the airplane is already built, it may be difficult to install the supporting structure.

Carlos,

Welcome Brazil!

A few other Brazilians in the Forum, do you know any of them. Fred?

Whatever you decide I have a build on just that at CFC Graphics. I designed a model with fuselage gear then decided to put them in the wing. Time consuming but not all that difficult.

I'd have to dig in to see where it is. Mig-3 maybe?

Carlos,

About Marcus. Marcus was a great contributor to the Forum. He also showed up in a few others but not as often.

Here's a guy that really loved the hobby and other modelers.

Never have I ever read a negative comment from Marcus.

I shared more "secret" emails with Marcus than any other Forum member. I believe I knew Marcus well even though we never meet.

I miss reading and sharing ideas with Marcus.

A tremendous and unfortunate loss.

About the gear in the wing.

I really like the look for some models. Plus you get an increase in the "track" or wider apart.

If you go over to CFC Graphics vendor's corner there's a couple of Threads with some information and photos. Get you started.

Here they are:

1) Mig-3 Reconnaissance Aircraft & Warbird, Page 2, Starting at Reply #79

2) IC to "E" With a New Look, Starting at Reply #32

I hope this helps?

BTW. Any question you ask of the members of the Forum, all will be answered. Differently in some cases, but answered. A good thing actually. 

Hey! Don't be a stranger.

the best idea  is to use a  cf 40 size  fuse gear,  it is lighter and stronger than wing gear, works way better on grass, it better for rough landings, does not  nose over as much as wing gear does, does not poke holes in the wing in rough fields etc...
cf fuse gear is easy to setup were you can spin the gear around, and it moves the  wheels  frontwards  or backwards  for grass/concrete

I built the Brodak Vector 40 kit, There is nothing wrong with the Fuse mounted gear as it comes. It does not get in the way of the tank, and is stable and sturdy. You could make it removable but it is not really necessary. The wing structure would need serious modification especially in an ARC as you would have to remove plenty of sheeting to gain enough access. If weight is a concern then you could go with a carbon replacement but for a ARC, why bother with the expense.
