First Look
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 Hobbyboss 1/48 F-105 kits. This set provides replacement main gear struts, nosegear strut and retraction arm and their oleo scissors. This set is a drop-in replacement for the Hobbyboss kit landing gear and you'll have a stronger alternative to hold up that model. This set will work with both the F-105D and F-105G releases of the Hobbyboss Thunderchief.
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!
