Thanks for the compliment!

It’s supposed to be the VF-1D but lacks any details for the most part. 
Have a look.

That’s the VF-1C. Nice.

The kit is labeled as the VF-1D. The version of that head makes an appearance in Macross Design Works and possibly in SDF-M in grey.

The 15th anniversary VF figures also had this unique head found on the Super VF-1D GERWALK, but not in the Battroid. 🧐

Very cool.

@Cheese3 Your Misa figure looks good! I lost the eye decals for mine, so she came out looking more like Little Orphan Annie!🤣

@derex3592 Your work areas are looking great! Congrats!

@Papa Rat The paint on your -1D looks REALLY good! Nice shading with the color mixtures.

@Chas The mods to your SDF-1 made it look much better!

@pengbuzz I saw a video online on how to save money model building. One of the suggestions was to use a watered down solution of white vinegar for a decal setting solution. I always thought setting solution smelled like acetic acid. I would give it a shot! - MT

Thank MT: I heard of that a while back and tried it.

My bottle of metallic blue acrylic paint STILL won't talk to me after that one! O.o

I have a feeling that Arii just f***** up the sculpt on the tucked in head. Then again they could’ve tried sneaking something in that they thought no one would notice, but I’m pretty sure they messed up.

they may not have had the best of art to go on and just figured it was good enough. Some of the box arts looked a bit funky at the time as well. Arii wasn’t always the best at details or proportions. I’m still surprised at the overall appearance of their fighter kit in comparison to the oddities on the fighter and gerwalk kitsIMG_3281.jpeg.b95efee76f3e8392447a536d5b14fad4.jpegIMG_3269.jpeg.2d98eeb30ee50894d343822f0fff6985.jpeg
