cru721 Posted July 19, 2008 Share Posted July 19, 2008 (edited) My nose landing gear on my 1/55 VE-1 no longer latches closed. I have bought some spare parts Valks but have no idea how to repair it. I have taken the spare parts valks apart and think I have an ok idea of how to do it. But before I pull apart my expensive VE-1 I was hoping that some Macross world members might have some pointers that they could give me. Thank You!

The problem could stem from two things: 1. Weak screw tension. 2. Nub on the black lock is worn or warped. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Totoro242 Posted July 21, 2008 Share Posted July 21, 2008 (edited) Or... 3. The wedge that holds the landing gear in place, so it can swivel, is broken. This is the worst case scenario. This will require an all new top nose piece. I had this happen on a VF1S I bought. Edited July 21, 2008 by Totoro242 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I would just tighten the screw in the nose landing gear? 2. Change the black lock? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get a picture of the landing gear bay interior. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
