Title: LF: 72nd scale Dual Wheel Landing Gear Parts
Post by: The Big Gimper on August 09, 2012, 04:45:27 AM

Folks:

I am looking for two sets of 1/72 dual wheel main landing gear.

One set is for the  US Army A-4B (http://http://beyondthesprues.com/Forum/index.php?topic=1691.0) and the 2nd for a F7F Tigercat project.

I can work without the wheels but the struts would be useful.

I can purchase or reciprocate with other 1/72 bits.

Carl

I was reviewing their wares yesterday. They have a great selection.

If I can't get one from the parts bin, I'll either go there or try to get a kit off Ebay < $20.00.

I was thinking the 1/144 A320 gear might work for you, and you get enough parts to do two aircraft in each set too.  I'm thinking they're just what I need for my Hawker P.1216 I got from Martin Higgs

I was looking at only the 1/72 gear so I did not see this set.

Can you estimate from picture how tall the struts are? I am looking for 20-25mm for F7F and 18mm for the A-4..

Hmm, not sure there Carl, why not email Ross and ask him how long they are.  I've done it in the past and explained what I intended to use a particular u/c gear for and found he was quite interested in what I was up to.
