GazzaS Posted December 30, 2020 Share Posted December 30, 2020 No...it's not that! I'm looking for AM LG for my FW-190 A-1/3. I need all three struts. And a tailwheel. My PCM's gear just won't cut it. I've seen stuff from SAC, but that would be the last choice. I've seen stuff for F-8's and A-8's, but I think those were heavier models. Can anyone point me in the right direction, please? My search words just aren't finding what I need. Thanks! Gaz 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a nice looking set... but I was really hoping to find the tailwheel and strut separate. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wumm Posted December 30, 2020 Share Posted December 30, 2020 Gaz, Quickboost do a tailwheel set, although out of stock at BNA and CMA locally. QB32185 if searching elsewhere... https://www.bnamodelworld.com/parts-decals-for-aircraft-1:32-reskit-rs32-0151 There is a Resikit late wheel set in stock at BNA, with the separate fork and tailwheel included... https://www.bnamodelworld.com/parts-decals-for-aircraft-1:32-reskit-rs32-0151 Synthetic Ordnance Works offer an A-5 / A-8 main gear set for the Hasegawa kits, MLGS 1005 if you're searching. Eduard of course do a dedicated full set for the Revell kits, however this has a square peg at the top of the main leg in order to fit Revell's gear bay, which may complicate things unnecessarily. Edit: The FW-190 main gear were effectively the same throughout production. Frequently, rubberised accordion-type gaiters were seen covering the movable section of the lower oleos on earlier variants. HTH, S 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And they have it at Hannants. I've seen the S.O.W. set and was thinking about buying them once I organized a tailwheel. Hate ordering from the US, though. I'll do what must be done, though. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wumm Posted December 31, 2020 Share Posted December 31, 2020 Creative Models Australia... Was looking at local options first. I'm finding that a few places overseas no longer ship Down Under. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ordered three times and had to ask for a refund twice as they claimed "It's not our fault what the supplier sends" after a six month wait. Looks like BNA is the only place in Aus that I can count on for AM. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I sent my Z-M J7W1 kit landing gear to Damian at S.O.W. to use as masters. A long time later, he sent me a couple of replacement sets. It was worth the wait - his stuff is top notch! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
