Scale Aircraft Conversions specializes in white metal replacement parts. Its line of replacement landing gear has been expanded to include a set for the venerable Bf-110 from Revell/Monogram.

This set is one of the more elaborated sets from SAC I’ve seen. It includes three main parts – two landing gear struts and a two-part tail wheel, plus 3 “frames” with the rest of the delicate parts.

My example arrived partially crushed (I guess due to shipping). Having the small parts attached to a “frame” actually prevented them from being distorted. But still, a bit of work might be needed to straight them out; however, it is very easy to work with white metal (check the SAC website for details).

You can see from the pictures the parts are very cleanly molded and formed…in some cases, even better than the plastic part, and they suffer of neither flash nor sink hole. The replacement parts would save you time and effort, as they are drop-in replacements and require no cleaning. Besides, all the attachment points from the original kit are the same, making use of this replacement parts quite straightforward. The only exception would be the tail wheel strut, which will have to be removed from the fuselage and replaced by the white metal part.

Recommended to modelers of all skill levels, except to the most novice ones, due to the slight complexity of this set.

I would like to thank Scale Aircraft Conversions and IPMS/USA for the review sample.
