bringing Jetfire back to life

[The_Damned]

inspired by the info about the peroxiding transformers i thought i might attempt to fix my jetfire which has really yellowed lately. initial results are promising will post more pics when i am happy with the results and we get some more sunny days.

I am trying it with Dogfight in the original thread. Good luck to you!

wow
one question tho, how does the plastic feel? is it more brittle than the original?

would annyone know where these parts go in jetfire?cant remember where they go.

I did some exploratory surgery to find out where that piece is located, I suspected one of the legs joints so I started it there and found it:





The spring pushes the tip of that round tab into a hole on the side of the cockpit lower body so that the hip is kept in place in robot mode.

I hope this helps

Its good you didn't loose it though. Otherwise you'd end up with a hip swivelly Skyfire then
