Packaging and Product

The sample review I received came in a nicely packed blister pack as do all SAC metal landing gears sets. There are no instructions included, but the set goes together in the same format as the intended kit parts [Italeri].

Review Process

I separated the tires from the white metal pour stubs by using an X-acto blade & fine sprue snips. I then cleaned up the parts with files and a brass wire brush w/ a Dremel tool. The Dremel tool needs to be done in a slow and methodical manner as to not damage the parts. The effort is well worth it since it polishes the white metal to a high shine for later washes.

The parts were then washed with Tamiya Panel Line accent color Black. Once dried I then painted the Oleo strut [the hydro-pneumatic shock absorbers] a Chrome silver. This gave them a nice metal look and were ready for assembly into the kit. These white metal parts are a time saver in construction since they are already in a metallic color and they will also provide extra strength in the final assembled model.

Conclusions

I want to thank Scale Aircraft Conversions [SAC]for providing the White Metal landing gear set 48468 set and IPMS/USA for allowing me the opportunity to review. Highly Recommend to everyone who wants more detail on their 1/48 Italeri Macchi MC. 200!
