Troy Molitor Posted August 25, 2018 Share Posted August 25, 2018 Man, I wish they released this a month ago. The Rata undercarriage is wobbly for sure on the ICM kit. The actual tubing is so thing it just isn’t good in supporting the actual weight of the kit. The I-153 on the other hand, holds up well on the ICM kit. I have both ICM kits up on their gear at the present time. Thanks for sharing this with us Kagemusha. Troy D Bellis 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony T Posted August 25, 2018 Share Posted August 25, 2018 Excellent. My Eurofighter moves one step closer with the order just placed. Many thanks indeed for the heads-up. Tony wunwinglow 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CharmyDown Posted August 25, 2018 Share Posted August 25, 2018 (edited) Wow! Close shave, just about to stick the under cart on this thing (Typhoon). The forward LG has given me a great deal of concern, not a fun build to say the least. This will give me the incentive to finish the bloody job. Thanks for the heads-up.

Southern Bandit Posted August 28, 2018 Share Posted August 28, 2018 Gonna have to get these Typhoon undercarriage parts, have some already AM ones, but heard they buckle with the weight of the kit ... its a large model when built up, a large Aircraft in real life too for a single/dual seater multi role Aircraft compared to the Hawk n suchlike.

Tony T Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 Received my Eurofighter NLG today - beautiful casting. Thanks Alistair! You're a genius! Tony Southern Bandit and Kagemusha 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ade rowlands Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 I-16 gear arrived today. Flawless casting, no blemishes to be seen, only clean up will be after cutting them from their pour stubs. I can highly recommend them. Southern Bandit 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ali62 Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 Hi Guys Well I am glad that you are happy with the parts / sets so far, I have more planned as time goes along. I am really pleased with what the caster is able to do, and as you can see with the Typhoon and the I-16 and I-153 sets he is able to cast in lots of 'holes' and very fine 'tripod' type parts. All of this is proving to be valuable lessons for me as to what can be achieved for future U/C parts and other parts. Thanks to all that are supporting me on a continual basis. Happy modelling to all, Ali Southern Bandit, Jan_G and Out2gtcha 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Out2gtcha Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 My OV-10 gear is AMAZING looking. Looks like I'm gonna need another set as well after a slight accident in my display case..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrish Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 Ouch, looks like a hard landing with prop strike, good thing the fuel tank didn’t leak! Out2gtcha 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
