Kagemusha Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 Unless G-Factor comes out with new gear at some point. Aeroclub have a set in the pipeline. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSP_Ray Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 Just received a set of Master RP-3 Rocket Rails for the Typhoon. All I can say is, these are superb! Exquisite detail right down to the tails and clips and a significant improvement over kit parts. At nearly US$50.00 a set, they're not cheap, but if detail is what you're after, you can't go wrong here. Jerry Peterson Just got my set today. OMG! They are amazing! I couldn't resist assembling one with warhead and tailfins. The fit is superb and is going to look amazing painted up. Makes me want to start the kit right away just to show off the rockets!

Ray Are these readily available yet or do you have pre-production samples? I only ask as I cannot find them on the Master/Hannants websites.

scvrobeson Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 Aeroclub have a set in the pipeline. In white metal, or something more substantial? The Typhoon is a big plane that can get pretty heavy Matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kagemusha Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 They're in white metal I think, but shouldn't be confused with the white metal as used by SAC which is soft, the one used by Aeroclub is harder, much harder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Peterpools Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 Talk about hard metal gear. The gear Paul Fisher used in the Sea Fury seams to be as hard and as strong as steel! Never a thought in my mind about the gear not holding the weight and the Sea Fury is a very heavy model Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never a thought in my mind about the gear not holding the weight and the Sea Fury is a very heavy model Peter Isn't the Sea Fury gear bronze or brass? I think G-Factor actually does the casting on it. The reason I asked about the Aeroclub set is I believe there may be a set in the works through G-Factor in white bronze. Not sure on a timeline, just kind of assume it will happen. Matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Peterpools Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 Matt Now that I think of it, you're correct but I was simply over impressed with the strength of the kit gear. Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSP_Ray Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 While the topic is hot, I have posted my review of the Master Model rocket set for this kit: http://www.largescaleplanes.com/reviews/review.php?rid=1426 I am sure this will show up in the 'What's New' tomorrow or the next day.

nmayhew Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 the aero legs are in lead free pewter i am no metallurgist, and my only contact with pewter are the jugs belonging to some of the locals at my pub, which hang up behind the bar presumably the lead free bit is what makes them hard?

LSP_K2 Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 On a sort of related issue, does SAC (Scale Aircraft Conversions) actually do any,... conversions? Harold 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
