This particular set is designed for the 1/48 Roden OV-1 Mohawk, all versions. This nicely molded set is a direct replacement for the kit items and includes the oleo scissors for the nose gear as a separate item.

The gear is quite sturdy and all one needs to do is clean up the mold seams, paint things and install them. As you can see from the image, the casting is first rate. Don't sweat getting thinner bits that are a bit bent. By slowly working them back into position, they are as good as new. It is one of the realities of cast white metal that we all come across.

You can order these direct athttp://www.scaleaircraftconversions.com if your local hobby shop or favorite on-line retailer does not stock them.
