After further review, I have revised my opinion and do believe that there are wheel wells. The landing gear doors appear to have outlines, so I think that they are inserts. There are two holes for each wheel well, which would correspond to how open landing gear doors would be plugged into the unders...

The Bandai model is roughly the size of the Takara 1:700 scale cross-sectional Yamatos, making it about 14 inches long, fully assembled.

Traditionally, Takara confuses the hell out of collectors, or maybe it's just me. Anyway, it wouldn't be a genuine Takara Yamato model release if there weren't questions about what exactly was being marketed, which, of course, could be a direct result of my inability to read Japanese. But, I digress...
