NOTES: | Cast Metal |
This Scale Aircraft Conversions set is for the Revell 1/72 FW-200 Condor. I believe this is the newer molding though these parts may well work for the older version as well. The Condor has some pretty complex landing gear as you can see by what is provided in this set. In addition to the main gear and its myriad braces and retraction struts, SAC included a two piece tail gear. This is a direct replacement for kits parts .
The gear is quite sturdy, and all one needs to do is clean up the mold seams, paint things and install them. As is the norm, some of the thin pieces are a tad bent, but will straighten up quite easily.
You can order these direct at http://www.scaleaircraftconversions.com if your local hobby shop or favorite on-line retailer does not stock them.
