Scale Aircraft Conversions Sopwith Camel Landing Gear

Dumb question Ray...

 

After paying near $100 for a WNW 1/32 scale Camel kit, why would the landing gears need converting?

 

Neither my unbuilt 1/28 Revell or built 1/32 Academy kits seem to have that issue, and they look just like the stuff in the bag shown above?

Well, you've got to admit that it's quite a feat to sell something that appears to be inferior to the parts it replaces and isn't particularly cheap..! Even the name is somewhat misleading - conversion??? Converts your good functional kit provided u/c to a pricey, wobbly white metal one... nice..!

 

Clearly lots of people buy this stuff, but who uses it?

I suspect many people buy it, but only the once.

 

Perhaps the 1/48 & 1/72 sets are better as they have to support far less weight?

Why buy it? When I purchase a new model, I usually go overboard on the AM goodies to make sure I have EVERYTHING. I have seen builds that use the SAC products, but did not know how poor the metal alloy they use is. So now I know. :fight: :fight: :fight:

Perhaps people have bought the G-Factor gear and assumed SAC was a cheaper, but equivalent quality, alternative?

 

That's how I bought a SAC set for Tamiya's Mustang, after getting the G-Factor set for Trumpies Avenger & Tamiya's Mk.IX Spitfire.

 

Boy, was I wrong.
