VF-1 A/S Valkyrie Hikaru Ichijyo is now available in a 1/72 scale kit from "Product Explanation : ■｢ Super Dimension Fortress Macross A.D. Remember?"
Beyond 30 years, the ultimate VF 1 is now born here.
In order to make it a suitable kit to commemorate the thirtieth anniversary of Macross series, it was commercialized with the concept of 」 Valkyrie which was made using 「's modern analysis technology under the close supervision of Shoji Kawamori.
As a result of repeated tries and errors, we succeeded in balancing the proportions of both the fighter form, which is the basis of VF-1, and the humanoid form, in a high dimension.
The latest and best VF 1 Valkyrie will be born here with full satisfaction, by sublimating the technology cultivated in the 「 Macross F 」 series of completely deformed plastic models of 1/72 scale.
The movement process of the legs by the actuator was set in the drawing by Director Kawamori at the time of the broadcast, but there was no commercial model that reproduced this until now.
The faithful reproduction of this mechanism is realized for the first time in the history of this product.
The main wing adopts a new structure which is drawn into the inside of the airframe at the time of storage (maximum backward movement). Consideration is given to the optimum balance of proportions in both fighter and batroid.
The engine nacelle on the leg part, which is sandwiched between the arms during the fighter, has a new mechanism that lowers the inner panel one step inside to ensure clearance.
The arms at the time of the batoids keep the silhouette of the fighter aircraft beautiful without damaging the strong form.
The wrist is stored in the lower arm during the fighter. In this kit, the inner panel is opened and the wrist is rotated with the unit and stored inside. The wrist is attached with a movable finger.
The LANDING GEAR for landing was reproduced with high detail for both front and main landing gears.
It is also worth noting that it has a compact design that allows for both flexibility and mobility while securing the volume of the landing gear compartment. The landing gear door is openable.
The details are based on the previous VF 1, and the parts exposed during deformation are added with a new interpretation of the mechanical mold. It has a dense finish.
New designs based on the latest research are added to the aircraft markings and caution.
The seal comes with 2 types of stickers : a water-transfer decal that can be expected to give a natural finish, and a kainasu seal that has elasticity that follows the curved surface of the airframe exterior and reduces the difficulty of pasting.
A joint mechanism for rotation and swing is built in the radome base of the front part of the nose which is the waist part, and the height of the degree of freedom of posing at the time of the batroid is established.
In addition to the joint of the hip joint, a movable mechanism is provided in the middle part between the air intake and the thigh for the leg part, which also becomes the reverse joint during walking, and natural posing is made possible by spreading it to the left and right.
The ankle and knee are locked in place during extension and contraction by a panel-shaped locking mechanism in the lower leg.
The ankle can be angled with the lower end of the leg moving in response to the inward swing. The sole of the foot can be grounded without floating from the ground.
A pilot figure of the same scale is available in a sitting position for the precisely reproduced cockpit.
In addition, the VF 1 wrist part for salute which can reproduce the last scene of the theater edition is also attached.
In the movie version, the main character Teru is switching from the A type, which has the largest production volume, to the S type, which is said to be for commanders.
This kit comes with these 2 types of heads, and you can enjoy both types by replacing them after completion.
The Gunpod can be stretched to reproduce the suspension condition to the fighter. In addition to the movable grip, a sling (sling band) is also attached.
Hardpoints can be easily reproduced with and without armed by replacing parts.
