Night Hog Posted March 23, 2017 Share Posted March 23, 2017 Who makes metal gear for this buggy/ Can't find anything at Sprue Bros. Any help appreciated, Dick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zero77 Posted March 23, 2017 Share Posted March 23, 2017 Nobody, unfortunately. I'm also waiting for someone making metal landing gear for the Revell F-4's (F-4E/F/G for me). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HL-10 Posted March 23, 2017 Share Posted March 23, 2017 Scale Aircraft Conversions make white metal undercarriage for this kit, but it is a copy of the kit gear so it carries across the undersized, inaccurate nose wheel leg. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The solder-like alloy SAC uses is hopeless for LSP T phantomdriver and HL-10 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BloorwestSiR Posted March 23, 2017 Share Posted March 23, 2017 Flightpath make a set for the F-4E kit so that might work. It's a fairly complex set though as it also replaces the gear bays using PE. Carl Luca 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luca Posted March 24, 2017 Share Posted March 24, 2017 (edited) Flightpath undercarriage is your best bet Edited March 24, 2017 by Luca Zero77 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zero77 Posted March 24, 2017 Share Posted March 24, 2017 Flightpath undercarriage is your best bet Wow, i did not know this set ! But the price is a bit high.... Another solution is to buy some tamiya metal landing gear and try to adapt it. You can find some on ebay at pretty good price (i bought one for about $30 S/H included).

Chek Posted March 25, 2017 Share Posted March 25, 2017 (edited) Affirmative on buying Tamiya 1/32 parts through eBay. It's not a cheap way to buy a whole kit, so the sellers are making a profit. But at about $20 per sprue or bag it's affordable for specific parts. It's also worth contacting sellers if they don't currently have the parts you need, as they will often let you know if they are expecting to get them. The Tamiya USA web site also has instruction sheets available as .pdf files to help figure out the sprues or whatever are needed - i.e. you'll likely need the plastic cladding for the u/c legs' metal cores.
