Excellent, Merlin! To be exact, a MS 475, the predecessor 470 had a somewhat different cowling and engine.

This is a MS470:

To close the case on the MS 475, doesn´t this picture look completely silly? What a goofy gear......

That sure is some strange gear. The wheels kinda dangle until retracted fully. Strange.

Very interesting photo Chris. Thats got to be the most unusual undercarriage retraction sequence that I've seen?!

New one to solve...

The P-36s and P-40s had similarly strange gear with the wheels rotating to perpendicular (wheel sides face forward) before folding rearward instead of inward or outward. (this mechanism was a Boeing design iirc)
