This set consists of high quality, investment cast brass landing gear, consisting of main gear legs, retraction struts and tailwheel leg and fork. A small resin sprue contains a tailwheel and separate uplock sturrups too small and fine to cast in brass. The brass gear is superbly detailed and accurate and represent a real upgrade in detail, as well as being super strong. Unlike white metal gear, you would need pliers to bend these castings, so they wont be deforming slowly over time. Combine with our resin mainwheels for a super detailed undercarriage.
Thanks to Steve Long, the Camden Museum of Aviation and Mike O'Hare for their help in researching this set. Patterns by Mike O'Hare and Roy Sutherland. Brass casting by G-Factor models.
