This Scale Aircraft Conversions set is for the Trumpeter 1/49 F9F Panther. It is a pretty basic set that includes the nose gear leg and bulkhead along with the oleo scissors. The main gear have their retraction struts as well. I am going to assume that the hockey stick shaped bits are for the wing fold, a nice addition as these bits are often pretty weak on plastic kits. These are direct replacements for the kit parts.

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.

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