This next new Scale Aircraft Conversions set is for the Tamiya 1/32 P-51D. This set includes both main gear legs, the two oleo scissors and a new tail wheel strut.  I'm not sure what the other five bits are, but I'm guessing the top one is part of the tail wheel assembly and the other four may be for gear doors. These legs have corrected the tie downs from vertical to horizontal.

The parts are quite well cast and all one needs to do is clean up the mold seams, paint things and install them in place as they are direct replacements for the kit parts. It is not uncommon for cast metal bits to be a bit bent but some careful straightening out will bring them into line once again.

You can order these direct athttp://www.scaleaircraftconversions.com if your local hobby shop does not stock them.
