I
chose to build an in-flight model, for that I used the Hasegawa Macross stand
which, after all, is not that beautiful (maybe it will be replaced later…), it’s
too big compared to the finished model. I also used the Hasegawa
photo-etched part specially designed for this model and a pilot figure taken
from the Macross weapon set.
This
kit is a hard build as there are a lot of parts to assemble separately, anyway,
I find the finished model quite convincing and worth the work given on it.

The
kit is painted with Gunze colours : white FS17875 H316, a mix of navy blue H54
and medium blue H56 at a ratio of 3/2
for the jet packs parts and RLM75 grey violet H69 for the big machine gun under
belly. The weathering consists only of a black juice in the structure lines.
Finish is gloss for the aircraft and satin for the jet packs and weapons.
There
are three decal options, the one I built with yellow parts, the second is mainly
the same with red parts instead of yellow and the third with blue parts.
Hasegawa
has done a big series of Macross kits which are quite interesting for those who
like Sci-Fi or original kits, so why not ??…
