This metal landing gear set from Scale Aircraft Conversions features a nose landing gear and wheel for the A-4 Skyhawk from Trumpeter.  

This landing gear and wheel is cast from metal and includes the  nose landing gear leg and nose wheel.  The level of detail is exceptional and the casting quality is excellent. 

As you can see from the photo, the lower yoke and wheel are rendered as separate parts. We recommend the parts be painted separately. When dry, gently spread both sides of the yoke at the same time until the space between will accommodate the wheel. Then close the sides of the yoke at the same time. This will prevent warping of the yoke.  

This landing gear and wheel will give you added strength as well as added detail. 

You can purchase this and other landing gear sets for a variety of aircraft and scales for many, many different models directly from Scale Aircraft Conversions.
