Scale Aircraft Conversions 48148: F4U Corsair Landing Gear
PRICE: $14.95 MSRP
FOR: Hasegawa 1/48 kit
REVIEWER: Scott Van Aken
NOTES: Cast Metal.

This next new Scale Aircraft Conversions set is for the very nice Hasegawa 1/48 Corsair kit. The set includes both main landing gear and retraction struts. A new tail wheel gear with hook is included as well as it's retraction strut.

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, especially one like this with such large and long parts, 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.
