Hi, Just if there are any companies out there that do undercarriage for 3mm and 6mm aircraft, if not. What people use to represent the undercarriage. Cheers Jeff |

Flying aircraft either have fixed undercarriage or raised undercarriage. At those scales putting them on the ground I doubt that you would really notice the Undercarriage and flying you wouldn't need it. |

CinC make a couple 1/285(6mm) with landing gear. An F-16 and F-119. As I recall the old Nichimo 1/300 kits have optional landing gear as well. Mostly US Naval aircraft. |

There are probably photo- etched brass components for some aircraft types in 1/350 scale (about as close as you'll find to 6mm/1:285/1:300). Tom's Modelworks and White Ensign are some possibilities; Hannant's in the UK might be a good start as well. |

The only scales I'd expect to see undercarriage are the usual Naval scales. 1/350, particularly. |
