Does anyone know how to make easy airliner landing gears?

Where are the models for download nowadays...?

I must have missed something.... ( feeling embarassed).

Hi Willem,

recolors of the 1/300 scale models are indeed often in the download section. The original 1/300 scale designs can be found throughout the website or by using the paperclip to the right of the thread title in the aviation forum.

For the 1/100 scale models policy has changed. These can be acquired for 1USD per model through Paypal (to cover my ink, glue and an occasional book on airplanes).
The latest list of available models can be found in post 4476. Newer models are mentioned in bold letters in the following posts.
PM me if you are interested.

Hi N96HBK

Since no one else is answering, I'll give it a try.
To make it really easy, I would take the side view from the airliner. select just the landing gear profile and print that on cardboard about 1mm thick. To give it more depth I might make the wheels separately and glue them on both sides.

Hope that helps.

You also may want to use some wire of different thickness, or plastic for the main rod. For the wheels punch black foam sheets or thicker cardstock using a belt hole puncher.

A new model, at the moment only in one livery:

Nr 849 Potez 25 French

With some pictures of the test build. I did not add the machine guns

And for those who wonder where Nr 848 went, it is

Nr 848 Hawker Osprey Spanish Republican

Thanks, Yoav.
I had a very detailed technical drawing and that helps a lot.

I finished three other versions of the Potez 25. By coincidence all south american.

Nr 850 Potez 25 brazil
Nr 851 Potez 25 uruguay
Nr 852 Potez 25 paraguay

And I started a new model. This one is a bit bigger than usual. but it is still an interwar plane.

Here's a couple of models from WAY earlier in this thread. I just got around to building them. Not very well built since I'm on the road and don't have access to my regular building tool.
