February Releases
White Metal Undercarriage Sets in 1/32, 1/48 and 1/72 scales
Ross McMillan is never static when it comes to producing replacement white metal undercarriage sets for recently released kits. For example, expected in a few days is the eagerly awaited replacement set for the monster Revell A400M Airbus 'Grizzly' (see our 'Breaking News' piece last week).
However, this month's releases are no less interesting, with set #32061 in particular providing improved accuracy for the wheels and main gear of the Dragon 1/32 P-51 Mustang. A very comprehensive set indeed as you will see from the photographs, and a rarity in that it includes an instructional drawing. Not only that, the lucky modeller is provided with wheel/oleo covers and hydraulic lines. Nice.
February releases:
32060 Mig-29 Landing Gear, replacement for 1/32 Revell kit, $18.95
32061 P-51 Mustang Landing Gear, replacement for 1/32 Dragon kit, $21.95
(wheels and main gear accuracy improvements)

As ever, if any of you have not visited www.scaleaircraftconversions.com you should. You will be in for a treat and be amazed at the enormous range of goodies available. Why white metal? Strength, good fit and, because of the malleability, adjustable – to name just three benefits. The February release sets are available from Ross by ordering on-line direct from the States, or through his UK distributor, LSA Models at Hove near Brighton, Sussex www.lsamodels.co.uk
