Nice recolor of the 1/60 armor.

It's just a pity that the 1/60 armor has so many problems.

Nice! It could use some panel lining and decals. I did paint one of my Nichimo 1/200 Armored Valkyries in this same scheme. I think I remember seeing it in the painting instructions of an Arii model kit.

Looks okay but I prefer the good old blue. Black would be pretty cool maybe.

Nichimo actually came up with this color scheme. The ARII paint scheme was basically the same as the Hikaru 1J GBP Armored Valkyrie.

I always wondered what inspired Nichimo and Yoshiyuki Takani to create these unique color schemes. The VF1J Max and VF1J Millia for example have a red and blue stripe on the wings respectively. They also came up with unique GBP armor for both of them and the VF1S. I guess it was just a way to sell the same model mold many ways
