Hello,
I am looking for a Flair Tiger Moth 1/4 scale sprung undercarriage. It would be to fit the 1/4 scale Precedent Stampe. Or if anyone has the plans or parts required to make a set. Many thanks in advance - Neil

There’s lots of info on the thread, although it runs to 161 pages!

The Flair u/c set for the Tiger Moth has become something of a Holy Grail to find. I have seen and assembled kit on a model and it was a first class set up using simple parts and some electrical fittings as I recall. It worked really well.
I was hoping someone would come up with something that would enable a copy to be made today. (I've looked at the Stampe thread but unless I have missed something I don't see anything. I'll go back and search through it a bit more.)
Has anyone got any photographs of an assembled Flair set that would help with re engineering a new version??

Well, I do know of the existence of a full Flair unit, still sealed in plastic bags, as it came from Flair, But it depends on your budget, he is asking £100, don’t shoot the messenger, this is hens teeth stuff,

No harm in making an offer, he can only say yes or no, but, I reckon it may just be the only one out there, used to be loads knocking around,

I just remembered he had them, it’s a hell of a way to earn a pint though!

I have come across a copy of the assembly sheet for the Flair TM u/c. The file is too big to post here and by the time it has been resized it will loose clarity. I will
