Please excuse the atrocious title but I liked it better than ‘Robotech VF-1A Valkyrie‘ and if I called it Robotech I’d get a bunch of people complaining that I didn’t call it Macross (and vice versa). It’s by Eric Druon (BaronSat), who is one of my favourite ever builders. Oh yeah… it transforms too.
Isn’t this Jetfire (Skyfire) from transformers?
Cool model either way though.
OMG Where can one find instructions to this wonderful creation? Does Eric ever reveal them?
^^ I’ll take that as a very clever joke and not a very bad missing of the point :)
^ I weep.
Hey neat! Not only is it a VF-1A Valkyrie, but it’s Ikaru Ichijoe’s VF-1A Valkyrie from the Macross movie, “Macross: Do You Remember Love”! I used to have the die-cast toy of that, along with just about every toy VF-1 Valkyrie ever made. I had to, sob, sell them all… :(
Actually, it’s an inspired title: Tom Cruise also starred in Top Gun, which featured F-14s, which look just like the VF-1A in Valkyrie / Veritech mode.
Jetfire was based on Macross / Robotech Veritech.
