Super nice 1/48 VF-1 Diorama!  (I think 1/48, cause that is a lot of detail to pack into 1/72)

The model is awesome. But i can't agree with the wheels.

Seems blasphemous in the Star Wars universe. And it’s kinda weird to only have 2 in that position.

The nose wheel is there...it's just obscuring the left rear wheel at that angle.

Yeah...weird seeing wheels on these.  In the actual design there is a panel that opens on the ventral fuselage and inside is a joystick.  The joystick allows the ground technician to move the craft around via repulsorlift if necessary.  Wheels aren't needed.

In Rogue One we see one of these being towed...uh...somehow.  I guess they put wheels in the landing skids or something.

Could be they have the repulsorlift on low so they can move the craft.
