    I managed to pick up a Yamato 1/60 unassembled VF-1A kit . Question is what paint scheme would look well on this blank canvas? Some lesser known paint scheme from the Macross universe maybe? Any suggestions?

    • The better question is, if you were to fly this Valk, wich colour scheme would you choose?
      I say: go for your own paint scheme and youll love the final result.

      • haha, If I were to fly one I wouldn’t be able to see the paint scheme with me clambering wildly into the cockpit of that bad girl! 😀
        I’m thinking Arcadia could possibly release some more paint schemes of the main characters, Max, Milia etc so thinking maybe something like the low vis options… These ones are tempting!

        I’ve fingers crossed some strike packs get re-released soon too!

        • Hi !

          I made 2 1/60 VF-1A TV Alaska and 1 in 1/48, all on Yamato toys.
          I have also yhose unpainted unsassembled VF-1, I’m working on 2 Minmey guards and 1 minmey 2009 paint scheme.
          As Angelizer said, just do your pattern, even if it’s not “anime accurate”, you can just tell it a custom, that’s what i do on my valks and I love doing it, I’ll never stop !

          • That is pretty cool lad!! Do you have some photos up of your work, would be great to see!
            I’ve some time to think before I even get near painting yet, so I’ll stock pile some designs before whittling them down maybe 😀 I’m liking the slight variation on the stock look from Macross The First http://goo.gl/AjGs7w http://goo.gl/Xa53yl Especially how it carries the color from the chest section to the back, seems to flow great!

    • This just arrived in the door this morning, and had a few moments to check it out! So far I like it, everything comes packed separately, one manual to show how to build it, one for the standard transformation and a sheet of stickers.
