Thanks. Awesome models and displays. Odd though, how that Zentradi command ship was mounted upside down. You'd think the Japanese would get that right, considering Macross is required viewing in all levels of education.

That model was a sloppy, low-rez amateur job painted very poorly.  I wouldn't give it a second thought.

More importantly, what's with all the Valkyries with turquoise canopies? 🤨

Nah, you're thinking of Gundam.  Macross is much more niche, virtually unknown outside the otaku community.

Guess someone was just trying something different. (not that different is always better...)

Oh, right, more than likely Gundam! Still prefer Macross as a primary course, myself.

I rather like the turquoise canopies...
