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 any of the Hasegawa releases of their 1/72 P-2/P2V Neptune kits. This set is a drop-in replacement for the kit's gear, though cast in white metal to provide stronger legs for your kit to stand upon. The large size of the Hasegawa kit will make these a nice addition for a stronger model.
The set includes the two main gear struts assemblies and their retraction arms, as well as nose gear strut. This set will work with any of the Hasegawa releases of their P-2 Neptune kit as well as with the reboxed Revell/Germany release.
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!
