afspret Posted July 7, 2023 Share Posted July 7, 2023 Does anybody make aftermarket replacements for the messed up main gear legs on this kit? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MA Cooke Posted July 7, 2023 Share Posted July 7, 2023 Normally Scale Aircraft Conversions has replacements, but it doesn't appear so for the Hobby Boss kit. I found out the hard way that a bit of surgery is required to get the gear facing the correct direction. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
afspret Posted July 9, 2023 Author Share Posted July 9, 2023 Thanks MA, I was hoping to avoid doing that. but it is what it is I guess. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I realized my mistake after I'd glued in the main gear struts. I was able to get the problem corrected, but it would be MUCH easier if I'd realized beforehand. If you have a simple small saw and a drill, you can saw the lower struts at the line shown in the pic below, and swap sides. I used small wire as a bonding/reinforcing piece when I reassembled.

MA Cooke Posted July 10, 2023 Share Posted July 10, 2023 It turned out (mostly) OK for me. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
