SET: Scale Aircraft Conversions 48052: F-102 Landing Gear
PRICE: $16.95 MSRP
FOR: Monogram-Revell kit
REVIEWER: Scott Van Aken
NOTES: Cast Metal

This particular set is one that should be most welcome. It is designed for the 1/48 Monogram or Revell-Monogram F-102A Delta Dagger. The set is quite complete and includes not only the main and nose gear, but also the main gear retraction struts and a separate oleo scissors/nosewheel steering piece for the nose gear. Like all SAC castings, it  is a direct replacement for the kit items.

The gear is quite sturdy and all one needs to do is clean up the mold seams, paint things and install them. As you can see from the image, the casting is first rate. Don't sweat getting thinner bits that are a bit bent. By slowly working them back into position, they are as good as new. It is one of the realities of cast white metal that we all come across.

You can order these direct athttp://www.scaleaircraftconversions.com if your local hobby shop or favorite on-line retailer does not stock them.
