Rob Colvin Posted May 26, 2022 Share Posted May 26, 2022 I was wondering did anyone ever do seamless intakes........also new landing gear? I know SAC made some but they are a little lacking. Thanks Rob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
allbann Posted May 28, 2022 Share Posted May 28, 2022 I know G Factor makes the landing gear. It is much stronger than the SAC landing gears. i don't know if it is still in production, check with spruebrothers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSP_Ron Posted May 28, 2022 Share Posted May 28, 2022 SAC Gear is weaker/softer than plastic. Not recommended. LSP_K2 and jgrease 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrish Posted May 29, 2022 Share Posted May 29, 2022 For strength? I built 2 of the Revell “E” (air quotes there) in the early/mid nineties and they’re both still standing quite happily on their Revell plastic gear legs, shakily…. but still standing. Like me after a ride in my buddies new Camaro at warp 5….standing but shakily. for detail? Can’t speak to that side of the issue, no idea whether the kits are accurate or not. Will you be posting pictures when building? Would like to see that! LSP_K2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackbetty Posted May 29, 2022 Share Posted May 29, 2022 my plastic legs broke after 30 years, used SAC and had no probelms since. these seem to be of different materials/batch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eoyguy Posted May 31, 2022 Share Posted May 31, 2022 In the long haul I would think the SAC would stand up better. The plastic in the Revell kits of that era gets noticeably brittle over time.I have sprues from that kit in the pile, and they almost snap just looking at them.
