With the Tamiya F4F finally on my building schedule, I'm certainly interested in this white metal landing gear set over the plastic kit parts. Joel

However, if you are going to do a shipboard version, a hard rubber tailwheel similar to what's on the Taniya Buffalo kit may be more appropriate. See http://www.angelfire.com/dc/jinxx1/Wildcat/F4F_FM.html As they say, "Check your sources." ;-)

I don't know why but in this age of resin accessories, I am surprised to see metal parts. These look great!
