The quality Hasegawa is so famous for shows from the second you get this Valkyrie model kit's box. The model is a special limited-production version of the incredibly-popular Hasegawa VF-1D Valkyrie kit. Just 15,000 being produced. Includes photo-etched parts and Cartograf decals. The instructions are in Japanese, but they are very well done with pictures; so, if you have built a few kits, there should not be a problem. Paint and glue is required to complete the model. Approx. 139 parts; 19.70 cm long when completed.

Top quality, like all Hasegawa aircraft models
Hasegawa has long been famous for their high-quality models of real aircraft, so it's great to see them bring the same level of detail to these science fiction / anime subjects. This is a fantastic model of the trainer variant of the VF-1 Valkerie from the Macross TV series. The parts are crisply molded in the tan color that provides the base for the trainer paint scheme. The instructions are detailed with lots of drawings to make assembly straightforward. The kit includes decals for the orange and tan trainer scheme as well as some subdued markings that could be used for a low visibility gray scheme like prototype U.S. Air Force and Navy aircraft, if desired (but no paint diagram is provided for this scheme). The decals are also protected by a thin sheet of padding, which I have not seen in other Hasegawa Macross kits.The only improvement I would like to see is to have pilot figures included in the kit, especially since this is a two-seater. Two pilots are included in the Hasegawa VF-1 Valkerie Weapon Set (65706), but their uniforms represent the movie version of the VF-1 flight suit, whereas this VF-1D crew should be wearing the TV show flight suits, since that is where this variant appeared.

muy lindo el modelo
esta todo muy bonito... como acostumbra Hasegawa, incluso trae una plana de piezas laminadas, lo unico malo es que no tiene los pilotos.
