The other question is: This landing gear configuration with the Wing gears folding laterally to fit into the engine/wing is absurdly complex and i had some hard time modeling it. But i came across one drawing that showed the same configuration as in the Ju188, with the gear folding backwards to fir inside the larger BMW801E engine (the first gear configuration was designed when they used the smaller Jumo engine). I believe that they had not enough time to change the gear after changing the engine configuration, but that the production version (A-0 or A-1) would have the same configuration as the Ju188. Should i go for the Ju188 style gear or keep it like it is?

for example,this is Ju-188 gear system (in 3dmax) :

I found some informaiton that may be help to both of you, where it may give you idea how landing gear works for animating landing gears.

According to this website:

The landing gear is of the standard oleo-pneumatic retractable type and the tail wheel is also fully retractable.

And I am posting more pictures of landing gears, hoping it'll be helpful.

I am still looking for more better references for Me 264 V2/V3 nose wheel and landing gears.
