Snapshot of the Hasegawa 1/72 VF-1 Battroid Valkyrie

The Hasegawa 1/72 VF-1 Battroid Valkyrie is a precisely moulded model that captures the iconic Macross mecha in a collectible scale. The kit balances detailed parts with a build flow that appeals to modellers who like to paint and customise.

Craft and detailing

This kit mirrors the VF-1s form and its transformation cues through well-defined parts. Careful moulding and part separation give a faithful animated look, while painting lets you tweak colours to match reference scenes or your own scheme.

Assembly tips for modellers

Snap-fit assembly keeps the build tidy without glue, yet some parts need accurate positioning for smooth transformation. Novice builders can complete the model but may find some steps involving fine components a bit fiddly.

Showcasing the finished model

Once built and painted, the Valkyrie displays strongly. Articulated joints enable action poses and stable stances, making it a versatile addition to any Macross-themed shelf or diorama.

Specifications

  • Scale: 1/72
  • Assembly Type: Snap-fit
  • Color Separation: Requires painting

For fans of mecha modelling, the Hasegawa 1/72 VF-1 Battroid Valkyrie provides a satisfying build and a customisable finish that plays well with both display and diorama projects.

Build time varies by skill and finish level. A straightforward snap-fit build can take a few evenings, while painting and detailing can add several sessions.
Basic modelling tools cover most needs: sprue cutters, a hobby knife, sanding sticks and tweezers. A small file set helps with tight fit areas.
Weathering is optional. Light panel washes and subtle chipping can add realism, but a clean finish also suits the animated look of the VF-1.
Yes, aftermarket or custom decals can be applied, but prepare the surface with a gloss coat to help decals conform to curved surfaces.
