Bandai "Macross F" 1/100 scale Plastic Model Fighter Mode Series
A plastic model series that specializes in the Valkyrie's fighter form, is easy to make, and will enhance your collection. Although each part is divided according to the paint divisions on the airframe, they are integrated as much as possible, and the Valkyrie's form can be comfortably completed only by assembling a few parts. It is a kit with proportions that are faithful to the anime and good features that, when put in skilled hands, are suitable for such things as painting and detail improvements.

Caption: The right and left wings can move back and forth, as they are separate parts. As the majority of the kit is white, by inking the panel lines on each part with a grey-series pen, you'll achieve a more tightened impression with the kit.
