Scale Aircraft Conversions (SAC) produces an impressive array of white metal replacement landing gear for a variety of models. Some of these sets correct different issues that appeared in production kits, while others are simple common sense replacements to have stronger landing gear on your model.
This release is targeted for the Trumpeter 1/48 SM.79 Sparviero kit. This set provides replacement main gear struts, retraction arms and that large tail wheel strut and fork. This set is a drop-in replacement for the Trumpeter kit landing gear and you'll have a stronger alternative to hold up that model. This set can be adapted to work with the Classic Airframes kit if you want to do a little tweaking.
You can obtain SAC landing gear from your favorite hobby retailer or online hobby shop. If your retailer can't get these for you and you can't this set at your favorite online retailer, then you can get quick service from Scale Aircraft Conversions directly.
My sincere thanks to Scale Aircraft Conversions for this review sample!
