Hasegawa 65714 - 1/72 VF-1S Macross Valkyrie Battroid Model Kit - Retro mecha build  [HA-65714]

Hands-on look at the Hasegawa VF-1S Battroid kit

The Hasegawa 65714 - 1/72 VF-1S Macross Valkyrie Battroid Valkyrie model kit recreates one of the franchise's iconic mecha in a tidy 1/72 format. The design focuses on the Valkyrie mechanical lines and transformation aesthetic, giving a satisfying canvas for both display and custom finishes.

Model styling and detail level

The kit captures Battroid proportions with crisp panel lines and separated components that bring out the mechanical detail. It is intended for paint and decals to reach its full potential, allowing modellers to personalise the finish and highlight recessed panel work.

What to expect while building

Build uses snap-fit parts that speed assembly and avoid immediate glue use. Parts are engineered to align well, limiting the need for heavy correction. Beginners can complete the basic build, while more experienced modellers can refine joints, add panel lining and apply weathering.

This compact Hasegawa kit provides a focused modelling session with a clean final display. Its detail and paint-first approach reward careful finishing and suit collectors who favour accurate mecha models.
