I?ve never heard of the Outlander, but that?s an interesting model.
Placed side by side it looks like the Russian version of the Mars Lander. I like your addition of the fuel tank. That really improves the proportions and look of the build.

Due to the loss of stability by removing one of the 4 fins, will require more nose-weight.
Use AT LEAST 4oz of LEAD. No mamby-pamby safe metals such as steel balls, use REAL LEAD.

3 ounces of steel were added. That's why when I turned the nose cap I made it with a 3-1/4" long counterbore for nose weight.

Gear Housing Redux
I needed a bit more clearance to slide the Legs between the Gear Housings. So I cut through the spacers that I previously glued between the Gear Housings using my Scroll Saw (blade thickness of .032"). Then I cut some new spacers from 1/16" thick Basswood (0.0625") which gives me a gap of 0.0305". That'll be less once I paint both parts.

Gluing The Leg Sub-Assemblies
I flipped the Leg Sub-assemblies over and applied fillets between the Struts and Dowels. Once those dried sufficiently to stay in place I layed the Legs on their sides and glued the Leg to Strut joints.

Looking great.
Lead flies better. Remove the steel shot and install LEAD. Just like there is no real substitute for Balsa there is none for Lead.

It's not steel shot... it's a 1" dia steel bar.

Original Estes Outlander Kit
How about a boosted backward finned Outlander...
