Below, the parts.

Decals left are not include in the standard box, decals right are.

No landing gear nor detail cokpit are in the box, but you'll find clear canopies, all the wheels, landing gear doors, and you can download this file http://www.sharkit.com/sharkit/L-133/notice%20page%202.jpgfor details if you want to scratch a landing gear.

You also have a 1/72 drawing of the landing gear with the instruction sheet that is in the box.

Some extra parts are available, like the base below, decals (just below), and more. Ask me before ordering your kit

Hey all!

Anyone have any detailed depictions of the L-133's landing gear arrangement? I've seen the drawings on the Sharkit site and from Scott Lowther's "Aerospace Projects" and they're good but more details would be better.

Any help would be appreciated!

And in the meantime, I'm awaiting this kit's arrival in my mailbox! I've always liked the L-133's lines and the fact that US designers were coming up with jet powered fighters in 1940 is pretty damn cool!
