junchoon Posted June 9, 2005 Share Posted June 9, 2005 What happens to the orientation of the attached weapons when the wings on the VF-1 swings back and forth? Will the weapons counter swing also, so that they will always face the same forward direction no matter the wing position? If so, does Hasegawa kits have this feature? Thanks wps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stamen0083 Posted June 9, 2005 Share Posted June 9, 2005 The Hasegawa kits do not replicate this variable weapons orientation feature, if such a thing existed on the VF-1, which I assume it did. The Panavia Tornado has variable weapons orientation. The F-14 works around this engineering headache by not carrying weapons on the wings.

Goshawk Posted June 9, 2005 Share Posted June 9, 2005 Yep, there carried underneath and on pylons right at the root of the wing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Omega One Posted June 10, 2005 Share Posted June 10, 2005 The Revell kit of the Tornado in 1/72 has this feature in it, not too hard to make it work. Regards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roy's Blues Posted June 10, 2005 Share Posted June 10, 2005 Do you think there is any way to mod a 1/48 yamato to add this feature? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vespaeda Posted June 11, 2005 Share Posted June 11, 2005 The wings of a Hase VF-1 look too thin to add any miniature rack-n-pinion mechanisms for for variable alignment? i'm also curious what the swing mechanism looks like on the ADV Tornado kits?

Skull Leader Posted July 13, 2005 Share Posted July 13, 2005 those were just free-swinging pylons though, they were never designed (in the kit) to swing in tandem with the wings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
