Yes, I KNOW I don't like F-16s but I'm trying to use the landing gear from an ESCI F-16B kit and it's so old the plastic has gone brittle and the legs have broken into zillions of bits, thus stopping the project.  :banghead:

Does anyone have ANY 1/72 F-16 landing gear, perhaps from a model built as a flyer? I'm fine with paying money or swaps,

Even better, if anyone knows of a company making metal gear for an F1-6 that'd be even better! Scale Aircraft Conversions don't, I've checked....
Kit's Rule 1 ) Any aircraft can be improved by fitting longer wings, and/or a longer fuselage
Kit's Rule 2) The backstory can always be changed to suit the model

...and I'm not a closeted 'Take That' fan, I'm a REAL fan! :)

I've had some success with this, thanks guys.

Looks like Gondor will come up with the goods over the weekend and the Project can continue to a conclusion, hopefully sometime next week.....  ;)

No prob ! So what you're saying is you're not actually building an F-16, but just using the landing gear ? Atta boy..... :thumbsup:

He's a good guy.  :thumbsup:

We already have a few trades under our belt and I've done the decals that's my part of the swap. ;D

I'll keep you in mimd though, who knows, I may break the 2ND pair of legs too!  :thumbsup:
