discussion A strong rear wheel for my Spitfire

[Guest]

The rear wheel of my 1/48 Spit keeps getting bent. Where can I get a replacement that is more robust?

Thanks.

What are you doing with it Steve?.I bet your running around the house with it making aeroplane noises!.Seriously,You can get metal replacement undercarriage sets from 'Scale Aircraft Conversions .I believe Hannants sell them from their web site.Ive used the metal gears myself on builds where I've needed a lot of weight in the nose.Highly recommended.

I had to repair the paint on a horizontal stabiliser, stripping down to plastic, sanding, masking, spraying, with the model finished, propeller, landing gear, aerial, wing antenna all eagerly waiting a false move by me. I pressed the model on the bench and ......

I found a Scale Aircraft Conversions kit at £8.99 and will order it. Many thanks.
