To my fellow forum members,
It is imperative that you purchase AM metal landing gears for GWH P-61 Black Widow. All three OOB landing gears broke. Very poor design.

Very poor design.
Are any available?
Back in the day Toshi, you'd drill them out as far up each piece as you could manage, and stick in a piece of wire.
Take a look at pictures of 61's on the ground. One kind of unique feature is that the nose gear leg sticks forward at a pretty sharp angle.
Modeling is an excuse to buy books.
I've seen the photos of which you speak of. The breaks happens at all the joints. The landing gears were in pieces before I even installed them. "As I say; "Bad Design".
Yes, they sell GWH 1:48 metal landing gears. eBay!
Wow Toshi!I certainly did not expect that on such a new kit.My Monogram 61 seems to be bearing the weight nicely so far!

Bronze is much stiffer than white metal.

That's a crying shame Toshi!
For an exorbitant $200 msrp kit, you shouldn't have to buy ANYTHING aftermarket. That would seriously tick me off.
I'm finally retired. Now time I got, money I don't.

Luckily for consumers, eBay came to the rescue. From the tracking number attached to the gears these parts are in PA. I should see it no later than Saturday. Thank you for the support.
