Making 1/48 hydraulic actuators...


Recommended Posts

Does anyone know of a online tutorial or video that shows how to scratch build 1/48 hydraulic actuators for landing gears, air brakes Etc.

Many of the old Monogram aircraft kits are missing these actuators and they have to be scratch built by the builder. But how?

Thanks.

Hello Scott.

 

I don't know if you've seen chuckw's posts.

 

Thoughout his builds, he has pictures posted with great detail and captions on the use of albinion alloys micro tubing to dress the landing gear on his models.

I've incorporated some of his techniques to ocationally scratch build landing gears, oleos and struts.

 

Check him out if you haven't already.
