It seems like one can count on Scale Aircraft Conversions being pretty prompt with the metal gear sets and this one is for the Hasegawa 1/32 J2M3 Raiden. It is a pretty straight-forward set, that includes two main landing gear legs, the oleo scissors and a new tail wheel assembly.

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.
