This next new Scale Aircraft Conversions set is for the New Hobby Boss 1/48 Yak-38 'Forger'. This is a rather complex set and each of the gear legs is a two part construct. Even the nose gear has an additional fork for the nose wheel. Retraction struts are part of the set for the main landing gear.

The parts are quite well cast and all one needs to do is clean up the mold seams, paint things and install them in place as they are direct replacements for the kit parts. It is not uncommon for cast metal bits to be a bit bent, especially one like this with such large and long parts, but some careful straightening out will bring them into line once again.

You can order these direct athttp://www.scaleaircraftconversions.com if your local hobby shop does not stock them.
