Hasegawa have been making kits from the anime series Macross for some time now. They are overall decent Hasegawa quality. But a bit of a amazing fit followed by only a ok fit. Not up to Bandai standard but still fun. The VE-11 was a armed recon fighter. Essentially you have the standard fighter. Then the Super variant with boosters and more missiles, then the AWAC's built upon the super. This is great for Hasegawa as they can release 3 kits basically. I used their decals as well as some from left over decal sheets. Paint scheme is my own and not one based on the series. Which is often base colours. In the early days that was to help with the speed of creating the animation as there wasn't much if any computer assistance.

Finished the other week but not built specifically for the group.

Thanks David. The Macross kits are cool as they are Sci-Fi but still feel they could be real. In the series they take off from Aircraft Carriers in Space. Complete with blast shields and deck crew. If they played Danger Zone it wouldn't be out of place.

@cybergolem they just annouced a 1/20's Valkyrie. The thing is close to 450.00 and a massive monster of a kit.

Thank you for the kind words on my build.
