This Scale Aircraft Conversions 1/72 landing gear set is for one of the larger 1/72 kits around, the Trumpeter 1/72 Tu-22 Backfire.   The set itself contains two main landing gear strut assemblies with retraction struts and a nose gear strut assembly. As you can see, these are some pretty beefy parts.

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.
