Continuing with the jet set, this next offering from Scale Aircraft Conversions is for the Hasegawa 1/48 F-16. It is a bit more complex than some with the brakes and another small bit molded onto a metal sprue. In addition to the legs, there are main gear retraction struts and a nose gear oleo.

The gear is 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.
