If I had any model painting/toy customizing skills at all, I would've wanted to come up with a Zentradi paint scheme. Not sure about the SDF Macross canon, but in the Robotech universe, there was an extended conflict in South America betwen the humans and the Zentradi called the Malcontent Uprisings, wherein a lot of fallen earth mecha were scavenged by the Zentradi. You could go about it in two ways: a regular jungle camouflage pattern with Zentradi insignia or a green themed paint scheme that follows color scheme of the Zentradi uniform. I'll bet these would rock on a weathered VF-1A.
