Variable Fighter Master File - VF-1 VALKYRIE -

DSC04325

Brilliant new mook i got sent from Japan published in 2020 by the Macross Broadcast Agency. Filled with lots of cool almost photo realistic pictures, drawing and so much information (but of course in Japanese, only know 200 Kanji i can only really read the Kana).

As soon as i finished geeking out over the great photos in here, i dug out some of my 1/144 F-Toys VF-1's to get cracking copying some of the cool new marking from this. This is only stratosphere Valkyries with no Super parts present except for an drawing, hope another for space valks comes out in the future.

First photo in the book is a great sunset flypast the SDF-1.

Nice shot over the mountains at the top and classy shot from the ground of a landing brownie.

Cool photos on the bottom of a Valkyrie dispensing flares and i wonder if the LM on the right with the Valkyries in front of the SDF-1 means Lynn Minmay? Nice fly past the SDF-1 by brownies from the TV Series.

Plenty of info like this showing where whats what and where it should go, pages on every detail.

Few pages on the CVS-101 Prometheus are cool, this thing can sink to the control tower just showing above the surface so its harder to track, nice.

Like the fly over the Prometheus by Roy Focker and Brownie,must be just before the series starts.

Eight single pages of these Squadron Marking's of the Valkyrie all in 1/144 scale, lots of cool schemes i would like to do.

Will review the VF-19 master file once received, no word yet on another one, would expect VF-25 next.
Such a quality book, hope i don't wear it out thumbing through it too often.

For a minute I was thinking it was a real fighter from some of those pictures, which is crazy cause I pretty much know my fighter planes. I must be loosing it.
