So I want to scratch build the landing gear, to avoid using the not-that-good-looking kits parts.
Seems to me that the dimensions might be:
Main landing gear, thickest part = 3 mm
Main landing gear, actuator = 2 mm
Main landing gear, supporting rods = 1.5 mm (looks like half the thickness of the thickest part)
Nose gear, thickest part = 2.5 mm
Nose gear, actuator = 1.5 mm
I wonder if there are hobby products that sell bits of shiny steel rods 2 mm and 1.5 mm thick.
Update:
Looks like I have ABS pipe 3mm wide outside and 2mm wide on the inside. 🙂
Only need various steel rods, which I ordered this evening.
I will have to do an evaluation to see if this solution is good or not, regarding the dimensions of all the parts and the overall look.
