Scale Aircraft Conversions (who goes by SAC most of the time) produces white metal replacement landing gear sets for a plethora of planes in all scales. In the case of this review, the gear being reviewed are for the 1/32 Zoukei Mura Ta-152H-1. The parts inside include both main landing gear legs as well as the retraction cylinders and oleo struts for each leg. Also included are the rear tail wheel component and its bracket. All are cast in white metal with no seams per se and are well done. As with many SAC retraction struts, mine were a little warped out of the package but easily straightened.

Comparing them to the kit parts, they are an exact match and should drop in directly. Being metal, the gear will provide better resistance against bend and sag over the time. Being a fan of Zoukei Mura kits, with the interiors, full engines and structure can make them heavier than most. This kit will minimize the sag. Also, one other great thing about SAC is using them as replacement for lost or broken parts. After moving my collection several times, I have used SAC gear to repair damage. They are much easier to come by than kit replacements.

Recommended for all fans of the TA-152H-1. My thanks to SAC for the opportunity to review the gear replacement set.
