First Look
Scale Aircraft Conversions (SAC) produces an impressive array of white metal replacement landing gear for a variety of models. Some of these sets correct different issues that appeared in production kits, while others are simple common sense replacements to have stronger landing gear on your model.
This release is targeted for the Revell 1/144 737-800 kits. This set provides two complete sets of replacement main gear struts, retraction arms and nose gear struts with their retraction arms. This set is a drop-in replacement for the Revell kit landing gear and you can replace the gear on two complete kits with this set. Note that some early releases of these set were labeled as 787-800 (like this one) but they are indeed 737-800 landing gear.
You can obtain SAC landing gear from your favorite hobby retailer or online hobby shop. If your retailer can't get these for you and you can't this set at your favorite online retailer, then you can get quick service from Scale Aircraft Conversions directly.
My sincere thanks to Scale Aircraft Conversions for this review sample!
