At first I was excited to see this manufacturer came up with their 772 mould and launced that Heliconia to us. After I saw how they did the gears, I am not buying anymore.

Looks like we'll see a couple more Boeing 777 releases in the future... Well, I sure don't mind! This one'll definitely go into my collection!

If I may ask, what was wrong with the way they implemented the gears?

Bad finishing on those tyres. I once posted a comparison pic between that Heliconia's and standard Malaysia's nose gear. Surely, that Heliconia's front gear looks like a thin OG since I almost can't see its hub. Probably it was something to do with the material used or... quality control?

By the way, someone else here also reported his Heliconia's tyres came off. Mine didn't come off, those tyres really 'bite' the hubs until they almost 'eat' them all. Different problems but I am not happy either with those gears. Could have been done better than that.

Ye, be sure, it's, on my opinion, a very good buy! Excellent mould and lots of details, but be careful, the landing gears are fragile.
