Scale Aircraft Conversions have a large selection of aftermarket aircraft landing gear for aircraft modelers. These are mostly made of white metal, which are sturdier than the thin styrene parts that are normally included with kits. For this out-of-box review, I will be looking at the Junker J.1 Landing Gear for the 1/32 Wingnut Wings kits.

The packaging for this conversion kit is a blister pack with a clear bubble. It does allow you to clearly see the condition of the parts, but once you open it to more closely inspect the parts, it is not possible to reseal the package.

This is an out-of-box review of the Bristol F.2b Landing Gear for the 1/32 scale Wingnut Wings kit, one of many accessories offered by Scale Aircraft Conversions. As with their other products, these are made of white metal.

All of the products that I have seen from Scale Aircraft Conversions come in a blister pack with a clear bubble. These are functional packages that allow you to see parts, and I’m sure they keep the cost down, but they cannot be resealed after you open them. As the packaging is minimal, there are no instructions included, so you will have to refer to the instructions included with the Wingnut Wings kit.
