VF-1S Strike Battroid Valkyrie Minmay Guard - 1/72 Hasegawa

Start of with a Macross, re-start with a Macross.

It's been a long time since last update, for one main reason....
When parenthood and model comes together, parenthood always comes first
and now my kid is (slightly) older, I can have some me-time again! If only for 1 hour each night.

This Hasegawa kit is a reprint, originally came out in 2006.
I bought back then, but left it in the to-build list for too long....
Last year when I opened the box again, the decal were already ruined...

When I saw there's a re-release in April this year, I'd thought I'll give it another go.
So here it is.

About the kit. It's a typical Hasegawa kit, in terms of build quality, not as good as the modern Bandai ones, but the panel lines are still top notch. A bit of shrinkage on the parts here and there, requires a bit of filling.

Straight build from the box. I did not use the color decals for large areas, that is the purple on the shoulder and cockpit cover, and the pink on the wing.
