Recently acquired another die-cast macross fighter through Macross World Forums which i think is quite cool. Is a production model of the YF-19 from the Macross VF-X2 game. Already got the YF-21 which i like but as with that one not a detail as i would have liked but thats just because of nit being die-cast metal.
Under the supervision of "Shoji Kawamori" is cool, knew he designed the VF-19A head but not the colour scheme.
Excellent packaging just like all Doyusha 1/144 Macross fighters. Excellent box it kept in, like a jewelry box.
Has swept back wings which is cool but don't remember that happening in Macross Plus.
Birds eye view
Looks a bit dull underneath.
Awesome little detail is the "No Step" warning sign on the wings, letters are about half the height of a millimeter.

I have this same model. I love these diecast models made by Doyusha. If these models weren't so rare, I might've sprayed some clear flat on one of mine to make it a bit more realistic.
It's too bad Doyusha didn't continue/expand the lineup.
I remember this series of toy was released a few years back. It's an awesome diecast. The box makes it very premium too!
Seems the YF-19 is really rare, have not seen it for sale anywhere.
Think sparying it would be a bit risky too and i love the box, really make it feel top quality.
excellent model, do u know if its possible to get another one at this point?
