ruskiiVFaussie Posted October 20, 2006 Share Posted October 20, 2006 (edited) http://static.flickr.com/86/274620181_b1c883ebfa.jpg?v=0 (from Tokyo Hunter's site for the Plamo 2006 coverage...) Just got me thinking... I know it'd be only strickly Zero-G capable coz of the drag, but how come Hase can break the rules? I can't remember, i do need to re-watch the series, did the VF-1 's ever have '3' hardpoints guys? If so, then i feel a little bit ripped off with the 1/48. Does look cool, medium range warheads, with a couple of nukes on each wing. Can you imagine it? '6' nukes each wing with the dual ports? rofl. Would that fit? I don't have me valk with me. Maybe with the wings fully outstretched? Nah, maybe not. Edited October 20, 2006 by ruskiiVFaussie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghostryder Posted October 20, 2006 Share Posted October 20, 2006 From Macross Compendium "Four pivoting underwing hard points for twelve AMM-1 hybrid guided multipurpose missiles each with four stabilizers which extend during launch (three on each hard point), twelve MK-82 LDGB conventional bombs (three on each hard point), six RMS-1 large anti-ship reaction missiles (two on each outboard hard point and one on each inboard hard point), four UUM-7 micro-missile pods (one on each hard point) each carrying up to fifteen Bifors HMM-01 micro-missiles, or a combination of the above missiles."

sketchley Posted October 21, 2006 Share Posted October 21, 2006 It's a mistake that showed up in one of Tenjin Hidetaka "Valkyries" book too (art for a missile/hardpoint attachment kit.) The two outer reaction missiles are supposed to be co-mounted on a single hardpoint. I guess for ease of manufacturing/assembly/mounting/whatever, they opted to add a third hardpoint, and keept the two reaction missiles seperate.

David Hingtgen Posted October 21, 2006 Share Posted October 21, 2006 The Hase kit just makes no sense at all for it weapons mount, just ignore it IMHO. Also---Mk82's are canon? I am SO going to rig up my 1/48 to carry some. Will have to buy some TER's though... I never knew any real weapons were listed. (Though it should be LDGP not LDGB---and yes I know the whole "Bofors vs Bifors and Royce vs Roice" issue, but it really should be LDGP---that's an Engrish thing, not a parody/avoiding copyright thing) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
