I
really liked Macross when it was on TV over here, so when I started building
Model Kits I knew I wanted to build some of these kits. I got some VF1’s
that I haven’t started yet and then one day on Ebay I found this one.
The Kit is great, it’s a very easy Kit with not too many parts, but a
lot of potential. The quality is ok, there are not too many details but
you could easily add some should you want to. I’ve build it OOB but I
didn’t follow the paint scheme at all. I decided to go for a used Army
look.
I
airbrushed the whole model with Alclad Aluminium in order to achieve a
nice weathered look afterwards. I used a tooth pick and some sanding paper
to create a “chipping” effect on the Model. I used the decals that
were delivered with the Model as they are of good quality as well. All in
all I can only recommend this Kit to whoever likes Marcross and/or wishes
to build something different.
I’ve
also tried to create realistic looking bullet impacts. I did those with a
hot soldering iron.
