What kind of plastic? Wave models

[EMP]

Hello everybody. This is my first post on the forum. I was just wondering what material the Wave VF-0A non scale model is made of. Also, and more importantly to me, what is the upcoming Wave 1/100 scale VF-1S snap fit model kit going to be made of. Different people have said different things on various websites, ABC, PVS, resin, I figured you guys would know better than anyone else. Thank you.

I don't see why it would be anything but Polystyrene with polycarbonate polycaps.

The non-scale VF-0A is polystyrene. So is the upcoming 1/100 VF-1 snapfits.

Polycarbonate or polyurethane?

Polyurethane is a casting resin used in garage kit.

I've heard horror stories about Wave plastic being not as good, but the small few Wave kits I've done seem identical to Hasegawa/Bandai quality wise. Of course I've only done the 0S, and a couple Mk kits.

Yeah, even I got it wrong. Polyvinyl is the material polycaps are made of.... or did I get it wrong again... dammit, what did Brad say.....

Thank you. I figured they were styrene, I just wasn't sure. I knew you guys would know the answer.
