Unlike my last review sample of SAC products, this time the USPS did not wreak havoc on the package and all but destroy the contents! They delivered an intact and fully usable set of landing gear.

What you get in the package is a full gear replacement in white metal for both main gear legs and the tail wheel. As you can see from one of the photos, the SAC gear has simplified things by making the compression scissors one piece versus two pieces.

Detail is crisper on the metal gear than on the kit’s plastic parts, as has come to be expected from SAC. The replacement parts are a drop fit with no issues whatsoever. They worked flawlessly and added considerably to the look of the finished model.

At $15.95, one will again have to ask if the metal replacement gear for a tail-dragger aircraft is warranted. Only each individual modeler can answer that question for himself. I can recommend this product to anyone who wants a little easier assembly and better detail for his Spiteful/Seafang. It is a fine product and works as advertised. On tricycle-geared aircraft, I consider this company’s product to be essential due to the need for added strength required when nose weight is added. For tail-draggers such as the Spiteful/Seafang, I consider these to be a nice choice for better detail, but optional. Still, you can’t go wrong with this company’s product. They are well made, look good, and work as advertised every time.

Thank you to Scale Aircraft Conversions and IPMS/USA for the opportunity to review this quality product!
