Default Wheel pant for nosegear

Would like tricycle gears on my Great Planes Super Sportster 40 MkII Kit .40-.46,55" but it would look stupid with main gears with pants and nosegear without. I will not be putting pants on if I can not fine an extra for the nosegear. Can anyone help fine an extra pant kit that would fit this plane?

Thank you

The Cherokee ARF uses a gear pant, maybe they could be adapted: http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...?&I=LXUDR7&P=7

Same for the Cessna ARF: http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...?&I=LXUX09&P=7

You don't need to have pants on all 3 gear to appear stock.

Many full scale operators also remove their pants for the same reason we do - grass runways and ease of maintenance.

Thank you, so they will work with nosegear?
you may have to modify then a little. they are the same pants for your main gear. look at your main gear pants and see how you could adapt it to work w/ your front gear.
it shouldnt be that hard
but i dont have them so i dont know for sure.
