Landing Gear Bay Aftermarket Upgrades for Scale Models

Landing gear bays are prominent internal areas that become highly visible when an aircraft or helicopter is displayed with extended landing gear. Their structural layout, ribbing, and hydraulic systems play a major role in the realism of a finished model. Aftermarket landing gear bay upgrades replace simplified kit bays with fully detailed internal assemblies.

This category includes main and nose landing gear bays, internal bay walls, structural reinforcements, and integrated hydraulic and mechanical details. These upgrades are especially valuable for advanced and competition-level builds.

Why Upgrade Landing Gear Bays

  • Adds realistic depth and internal structure
  • Improves accuracy of bay layout and geometry
  • Corrects empty or shallow kit bays
  • Enhances realism of parked aircraft models
