F-16 Posted April 24, 2022 Share Posted April 24, 2022 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. Scott CNJC-IPMS Quote Link to post Share on other sites
modelmax Posted April 26, 2022 Share Posted April 26, 2022 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. Ernie A. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Gwen Phoenix Posted April 26, 2022 Share Posted April 26, 2022 Hi Scott, I wholly concur with Ernie above. Albion Alloys Slide Fit Brass Tubes (0.4mm, 0.6mm, 0.8mm and 1.0mm) - SFT1 Hydraulic actuators made easy. I'm quite sure that there's an Aluminium set by Albion Alloys as well. Clicky Cheers, Gwen Quote Link to post Share on other sites
