Hi,
I am trying to ID a landing gear strut which had to have come from a
kit that was available back in 1976. Unfortunately, I only have some
photos of the strut partially obscured. I believe the scale is at
least 1/48-1/50, perhaps even bigger. I've looked at all the usual
suspects but I can't seem to find a match. From my research, the B-25
Mitchell nose gear strut looks the closest-- but so far I can't find
the right kit.
Please take a look at the photos here:

... and please email me if you have any clue as to what aicraft or,
more specifically, what kit this might have come from. Thanks for your
help, I appreciate it!

A Mitchell looks likely but I'm not sure who was making one that large
in '76. Somebody more conversant with 1/48 will know when the Monogram
kit came out. If it helps any, I think Revell's B-25B was 1/64 or 1/67.

I'm pretty sure Revell's 1/48 B-25B was released in the early
70s.
