The Revell kit does have the double-wheeled main gear that production Cormorants have, but its probably a bit excessive to buy the kit just for that (particularly as there are Cormorant-specific parts in the Italeri kit, like the cabin sides with extra windows and the winch, even if that is inaccurate). Probably better to find a set of 4 wheels from the spares box, or even a cheaper kit, and make the other changes suggested on that website. I used a set of wheels from a Starfix Jolly Green Giant, about the only salvageable parts from that mess, but then put the kit aside. May be inspired to restart it now. Incidentally, I believe the Italeri kit is fairly accurate for the Civil Utility pre-production bird, PP9, for which decals are also provided in the kit.
