Arii 1/170 Macross Armored Valkyrie VF-1A 3D Factory MA-01 - Part 1

Part 1 of a new build series - Arii 1/170 Macross Armored Valkyrie VF-1A 3D Factory MA-01 from the anime Super Dimension Fortress Macross (超時空要塞マクロス). This is a vintage kit from the 1980s and packs a lot into a small box (essentially a diorama). The kit features a VF-1A Armored Valkyrie Battroid, 3 figures, a missile trailer and a hangar which features an opening hatch in the floor. In this video I show what comes in the box, basic assembly, seam cleanup and modifications made to the Battroid figure to make it easier to paint.

These will look great when built. I made a couple of the 1/200th versions, but I haven't made the 1/170th ones yet - they are still in my stash. I have sets 29. 30, 31, and 32. Looking forward to seeing yours when it's completed!

I think these are some of my favourite kits I have built. Partly due to nostalgia but mainly because they packed so much into a small kit. I am sure you will enjoy building yours when you get around to them.
