Transformers G1 Jetfire VF-1A Head Macross Robotech part

This is a complete replacement head for the 1/55 scale Bandai toy sold in the US as Jetfire for Transformers
The toy was also sold in Japan with a different head (VF-1A) with a single antenna/laser under the Macross name, aka Robotech
Two versions are included in the download
The first version is as close to the original as I could make it
The second version is narrower, which I think more closely matches the original artwork

You get all the plastic parts to make a complete VF-1A head and connect it to your Jetfire/Veritech/Valkyrie toy:
- left and right side of head
- single antenna/laser
- retaining clip which receives the screw through the neck
- neckplate

The right side of the head includes the eye/nose sensor that was painted green on the original VF-1A toy
This overlaps with the left side of the head, just like the original VF-1A toy
The antenna/laser will rotate forward and back, and the tolerances are tight, so it should hold a pose once you set it
The head will also pivot left and right on the retaining clip
The neckplate will fit inside the torso of your toy, so the head can flip up or down when changing modes
If you have a broken antenna/laser from the original toy, you could just print my model and it should fit into your original head parts

You will need to provide all of the original hardware to make a complete head; both screws, the spring and a washer
The hardware from the Jetfire toy is the same as on the VF-1A
Please note that to make the narrow version of the head, I had to shrink the neck as much as possible
This means the spring and screw on the bottom will just barely fit into the neckplate, but it does

I also have a free Robotech video game you can play in your browser. Just go to itch.io and search for Battroid Attack

The models are set to the scale needed to fit your Jetfire, so you shouldn't need to resize them
The pictures are prints from a 0.4mm nozzle at 0.2mm layer height using PLA with infill at 10%
The head models should sit with the neck flat on the print bed and the top of the head facing up
The antenna/laser should point straight up when printing
I recommend using supports with each model
