ce25254 Posted January 7, 2008 Share Posted January 7, 2008 OK, I will soon embark on making my VF-1 Super, and VE-1 and VF-4 kits. I want to order a stock of Wave or Kotobukiya vernier nozzles to replace the bar/handle verniers on the nose and shoulder of the VF-1; I'm also planning to add nozzles to the side of the VF-4 engines (Valk009's kit). I don't want to waste my money on getting the wrong size option parts, and it's difficult to tell from the HLJ etc. online images. I think I will get the Kotobukiya Vernier Nozzle III set, as used by maxjr on his VF-0 http://macrossworld.com/mwf/index.php?showtopic=24132 ... http://www.hlj.com/product/KBYP-113 I have seen the "Minus Mold 4" set mentioned, but I'm not sure it has the look I am after http://www.hlj.com/product/KBYP-123 What other sets have been used successfully in 1/72? In addition, I'm interested in other nozzles for the super/booster packs if they are better than the stock ones. And since we're on the topic, I'll ask for recommendations on 1/72 photo-etch parts... I have one set of Hasegawa's VF-1 photo etch parts already. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PetarB Posted January 7, 2008 Share Posted January 7, 2008 In addition, I'm interested in other nozzles for the super/booster packs if they are better than the stock ones. I think have a lot of the Kotobukiya Nozzle option sets around that size (are 4 different ones?). I think the large exhaust cans supplied in the Hasegawa kit are fine in comparison. I would not replace them. The smaller ones could certainly do with replacing if you want them to be deeper, but I was happy with the level of detail on the originals.

big F Posted January 8, 2008 Share Posted January 8, 2008 I got the Minus mold 4 set and also the KBYP-103 Along with anything vaguely Macross like while in Japan, each time I go I look for more to restock my collection they are good and the larger ones are good for 1/55 mods too.

TSP Posted January 9, 2008 Share Posted January 9, 2008 (edited) There are more detailed descriptions and drawings on each MSG option set at the Kotobukiya homepage. http://www.kotobukiya.co.jp/item/page/parts/index.shtml The parts which I use for Macross models are P-111 Minus MoldII, P-109 Vernier Nozzle II, P-133 Vernier Nozzle III and Wave's Z-Vernier 1 OP-261 Edited January 9, 2008 by TSP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
