Metal Replacement Landing Gear for the Airfix 727

by Greg Drawbaugh
May 10th, 2013

sac727gearScale Aircraft Conversions has just released white metal replacement landing gear for the venerable Airfix 727-200 kit.  For those who have built the Airfix 727 kit, you have likely found out how easy it is to break off the mains, just as I did on my build.  The other nice feature of white metal gear is you can “tweak” the parts by bending them a bit to get your model to sit square and proper.  This new set from Scale Aircraft Conversions is their latest release in 1:144 scale, and by patronizing these releases we may well see more sets released for 1:144 scale in the future.
