Hasegawa 65653 - 1/48 MC03 VF-1S/A Strike Super Valkyrie Skull Squadron - Profile

This Hasegawa release presents the VF-1S/A Strike Super Valkyrie with clear styling cues from the Macross series. The kit aims to reproduce the Valkyrie's distinct profile while remaining compact enough for shelf displays.

Craftsmanship and moulding

The kit benefits from refined moulding that preserves small surface details and panel lines. Parts are engineered for accurate alignment so builders can expect neat joins and minimal seam work for a clean finish.

Building notes

Assembly is set up for modellers at an intermediate level, featuring step-by-step instructions and parts that lock together. Base-coloured parts reduce the need for immediate painting, though painting will personalise the final result.

Showcasing the model

With articulated connectors the assembled Valkyrie can be displayed in multiple configurations. It performs well in flight-oriented displays and fits alongside other Macross kits without dominating a layout.

This Hasegawa kit is a sensible choice for builders who want a faithful VF-1S/A that balances detail and ease of build, resulting in an attractive display piece.
