Default 1:6.8 scale F16 Nose Leg

I recently bought a second hand Aviation Design F16 which is 1:6.8 scale. It has a pair of rotating non scale main retracts and legs but no nose gear. Does any one know where I can get or have a spare rotating nose retract (scale would be preferable)... have been told the Avonds leg will also fit but might need a bit of work to make it fit.

Thanks in advance Phil

Avonds doesn't make a scale or a rotating nose gear. Avonds uses a regular Robart retract unit and a regular strut. He has you glue a fiberglass steering link to the strut that upon retraction strikes a wooden block causing it to rotate closed. Old school.

A BVM F16 nose retract will work.
