First;
dnatech, CadetChuck, MightyMan, Sain, Ikarol, & Phil_h. Thank you all for your help!
I almost felt, i was alone on this. "IKARO1 "the pic of your scratch built Viper's landing gear has been a long time staple in my own research! it Matches to the orginal TV show. Thinking out of the Box, using 1/72 to 1/48 scale armor tanks suspention . I've purchased these Kits for parts:
(Note ) * Perside
1. revell1/72 03168 M60 & ERA. Parts *6 wheels & 3 carier wheels
2.revell 1/72 03135 bridge laying tank beaver. Parts *7 wheels &2 Cairer wheels
3. trumpeter 07277 M1A1 with mine cleaning blde system. Parts *7 wheels
4.tamiya 1/48 32507*1600 strumgeshutzIII. parts *6 wheels & 3 carier wheels
5.tamiya 1/48 32537*1900 M26 pershing. Parts *6 wheels & 5 carier wheels
The wheels and suspention are the right scale, the Match the MMI resin kit. the larger 1/48 scale wheels are large but a "6th mill Attack fighter " might use them? the smaller carier wheels look much more accurate. later I will post pics of what works best .
On your BSg blue prints, Did they show wheels sets side my side or single row ? As with this post I have not found to many other online images of scratch built landing gear builds. I have sent a request to MMI if they might make a more Simpler (less detail ) Kit. for more quick Builds and maybe incease Viper dioramas? Now that thier are pilots for the newer kits... BUT If REvell would just ? take the same approch to this issue they might omit detail like the viper poilt they supplied for the re-issue. t like most modelrs it allows us to modify them more .
Down the raod, I will have pics on this project. but to give you one step ahead. I will modify the SeaQuest DSV dump truck? landing skids to make TWO complete landing struts for two Vipers. using the Tanks wheels... it will not be 100% accurate but the landing gear will be Shown....
thanks again for the help..... Nfpa
