Along with a brand new resin mainwheel well for Airfix's 1:48 Hawker Sea Fury, Roy Sutherland at Barracuda Studios has re-released their excellent brass landing gear set which had been sold out for some time.
We are excited to finally release the Sea Fury gearbay in 1/48th for the recent Airfix kit. This product has been in development for quite some time and will really dress up that big, open, visible gearbay! A lot of thought has gone into making it easy to install. It's not a drop fit, but it wont tax your skills either!
BR48348 - Hawker Sea Fury Gearbay Set
This set contains parts to assemble a complete, super detailed resin
main landing gear bay to replace the somewhat basic kit gearbay in the
Airfix. It has been designed to be installed with a minimum of
thinning and modification to the kit wing. It also gives the
impression of a thinner lower wing skin and deeper gearbay. May be
possible to modify it to fit other kits. CAD design by Gerry Mos.
Plumbing and wiring detail by Roy Sutherland. Thanks to Camden
Aviation Museum and Steve Long for their help in research.
The set is available now from Barracuda Studios - Price: $14.95
BR48345 - Back in stock! - Sea Fury Brass Landing Gear - Early Style
This set consists of high quality, investment cast brass landing gear,
consisting of main gear legs, retraction struts and tailwheel leg and
fork. A small resin sprue contains a tailwheel and separate uplock
stirrups too small and fine to cast in brass. The brass gear is
superbly detailed and accurate and represent a real upgrade in detail,
as well as being super strong. Unlike white metal gear, you would need
pliers to bend these castings, so they wont be deforming slowly over
time. Combine with our resin mainwheels for a super detailed
undercarriage.Thanks to Steve Long, the Camden Museum of Aviation and
Mike O'Hare for their help in researching this set. Patterns by Mike
O'Hare and Roy Sutherland. Brass casting by G-Factor models.
The set is available now from Barracuda Studios - Price: $18.95
