exdraken Posted March 17, 2021 Share Posted March 17, 2021 Very nice!

Have a beefed up landing gear with a trailing arm and shock absorbers?! https://www.uasvision.com/2012/01/10/general-atomics-introduces-new-trailing-arm-design-on-predator-bmq-9-reaper-landing-gear/ Would be great to get those as well...

Ali62 Posted March 17, 2021 Author Share Posted March 17, 2021 Hi yes I am, but thought would try these first, also tricky to find really good details to make them. Another point is that these are and have not sold very much as yet, I do not think I have sold 1 set of 1/72 as of yet so I ask the question is it worth it???? it was worth a punt to see how these go, but confidence is not in abundance.

SleeperService Posted March 18, 2021 Share Posted March 18, 2021 I'm sorry to read this as I was one who pestered for them. TBH I'm surprised as my Ikhana 1/48 was sitting lower and lower as the rear legs splayed out. With the Caracal Decals, lots of schemes, and a simple build I'd have thought they'd be a popular subject. I will be doing my best shortly...

I’ll be in touch shortly via the website as I’m getting the 1/72 reaper, and also for the sea otter parts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey it is not your fault, it was and is always worth a punt, you never know it could turn around. However even with a huge flow of website traffic from them being posted up on Hyperscale today, no biters, strange but true. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whofan Posted March 19, 2021 Share Posted March 19, 2021 1/72 undercarriage for the Reaper ordered on your website last night. Looking forard to them joining the kinetic 1/72 kit soon! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whofan Posted March 24, 2021 Share Posted March 24, 2021 (edited) I've got to congratulate @Ali62 and the posties in Scotland and England, because I ordered a set of 1/72 brass undercarriage for the reaper last thursday, and they've arrived within the last half hour !!I that's got to be one of the fastest deliveries I've had for over a year, so well done everyone! Of course, I had emailed Ali 62 about an hour before they were delivered, asking if he could give me a rough idea of delivery timescale , so you can ignore that message!

Shalako Posted April 1, 2021 Share Posted April 1, 2021 I guess the ones in 1/72 are meant for the Italeri/platz kits (same mould)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My ones came from a Kinetic box, but if it is the same moulds then, they will fit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is possible an aftermarket set, in this case, undercarriage legs to be able to fit in any relatively modern-injected kit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
