This new set from Scale Aircraft Conversions is for the new Hobby Boss 1/48 F8F Bearcat. This set includes the main gear legs, the tail wheel assembly and additional tail wheel strut. It also includes the four wing fold hinges, which have to be stronger than the plastic ones. 

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.
