bringing Jetfire back to life

[The_Damned]

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

Jetfire is a very nice figure to disassemble as everything is within easy reach and you don't need to pull apart most of the figure to remove a limb for example.

I can tell that the designer (Kwamori, I presume) took into account an 'assembly line' mentality while designing the Macross mold as you can assemble different parts independently and them slowly pull them together unlike modern toys such as Unicron in which you have to pull apart virtually the whole figure to remove one part of it.
