Ross at SAC just keeps cranking these thinks out… THANKS VERY MUCH for sending IPMS USA another of your expansive line of metal landing gear, and thanks also to IPMS USA leadership for sending it on to me to review….

This is the now-expected, much improved upgrade to the kit plastic. Consisting of 15 metal parts directly replacing the kit items, they are an easy addition to improve the longevity of your kits as they sit on display…

With the T-28, like their 1/48 counterparts, the nose gear is particularly vulnerable to damage; it is not a fork-mounted axle, but an offset arm, and this weakness usually results in strut sag/failure within a year on bigger models. …

Not much to say on this one; I glued everything together and installed on the mostly-finished airframe in about 30 minutes. The gear worked as advertised, and after adding some VERY tiny SAC details which were included for the set, it looked good and was very strong.

The photos tell the story; the SAC gear fits perfectly into place, and I know have peace of mind that the SAC gear that will shrug off my attempts to break it. The other benefit is I can bend the gear back into place if I happen to bang up against it.

SAC gear makes the difference for many kits like this. Once more earning a “10” rating, thanks again SAC for taking care of this modeling niche and IPMS USA for the forum to review such items…
