add I found the image of the AST-III model wheel fairings I wanted to share.
Not knowing how the model would be mounted to the ground plane at the wind tunnel, they were left 'loose.'
The openings allowed the tie-down straps to pass through. They do introduce drag though, so anyone desiring to do a wheel fairing package would wantas close a fit as possible.
