Default scale retracts for CMP Zero-120

Hi all!

Just got CMP Zero 120 size.
I am to rebuild it as A6M3 mod.22 to use M5 type cowl, but longer wing.

I need your advice about struts/retracts. I DO NEED SIDE V-joint on struts, like a real Zero. Not a rear one.
Any ideas?

Sierra struts - for bigger planes, Shindin Machine - too ugly....

I strongly suspect you will not find anything that is nearly as scale as what you appear to be looking for. You will probably have to have something custom made or at least a modification of an existing set. If it were me (and it is, I'm building a CMP Zero as well) I would go with something like the Robart or Spring Air spring down type retracts and struts and call it good. The CMP Zero itself is a loooong ways from being truly scale anyway. Just my .02 cents, good luck.
