EXO Posted February 16, 2013 Posted February 16, 2013 This is based on a tow tractor support vehicle that came out in the first episode of SDF Macross. The tow bar connects to a VF-1 Tow hook but I've also included another hook to secure it. It actually works without it. It comes with a driver. Thanks for looking! Comments welcome. Quote
EXO Posted February 16, 2013 Author Posted February 16, 2013 1/60. I might put out the 1/48 version on Shapeways after the ground crew comes out. Pictures of the kit and decaled version to come. Quote
CoreyD Posted February 16, 2013 Posted February 16, 2013 Very into it. If offered, I'll definitely pick up a 1/60. Also, this sort of custom stuff is why MW is so rad! Quote
Scream Man Posted February 16, 2013 Posted February 16, 2013 id be tempte dby a 1/60 one. Ground crew would rock as well! Quote
TehPW Posted February 17, 2013 Posted February 17, 2013 when they created all the various mechanical work art, i wonder if the artist(s) took inspiration from SE seen at the three major bases where Navy operated at. Because outside from the rear twin wheels (something no real piece of SE that im aware of ever had) it looks alot like an NC-8A MEPP though the TA-75 was the shore based tug used by the fleet at that time Quote
skullmilitia Posted February 17, 2013 Posted February 17, 2013 Nice, in for one in each scale when available. Quote
lykiat Posted February 17, 2013 Posted February 17, 2013 it'll be great if there's a 1/48 version Quote

EXO Posted February 17, 2013 Author Posted February 17, 2013 http://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/index.php?showtopic=38546 This is a new model from 3D print, not the one I did by hand a few years ago. Quote
derex3592 Posted February 17, 2013 Posted February 17, 2013 I think I'll keep your 1st hand made/painted version --- I'm sure it will be worth more $$$ 50 yrs from now! Quote

nikayrun Posted February 27, 2014 Posted February 27, 2014 Hi. How do I make an order for the tow tractor and the ground crew set of 1:60 scale? Thanks. Quote
TehPW Posted February 28, 2014 Posted February 28, 2014 IMG_1935 (Medium).JPG this is a A/S32 A-31A right after CYLOP. its got a GTC-100 Airstart on the back (since replaced on both Fleet and Shore-based by the MSU-200/NAV, which resulted in the modification of the Tow Tractor to the A-31B specification)... the question i ask is, because the VF-0 and VF-1 were principly Navy assets, would it not be more apporprioate to use a ALBAR type towbar? (your guess is mine to what length of towbar (8', 15', 20' or 22' feet model) would be used. If you didn't know, different lengths are used at sea as opposed to shore based... Quote
