VF1 Valkyrie Recover
« on: September 08, 2014, 11:05:41 PM »




This will be my VF1 crash recovery diorama. Starting with the 1/72 Hasegawa VF1 fighter, it was sub assembled and then severely damaged. The engines have been dismantled so what we have is basically just a shell of the aircraft. The trailer is a bandai 1/114 trailer for a Gundam truck. It fit the fighter perfectly so I have repurposed it.

The trailer is pretty much done, now its on to painting and weathering the wreck.

BTW, the brave pilot, Major Hikaru Yamanashi ejected and is doing fine. :)

Couldn't it just transform into its GERWALK or BATTROID state and self recover?

Of course it could, but then I wouldn't be able to build this.  ;)

It looks just a bit too shot up for that - big hole through the stbd engine casing.
