Showa Pop! Macross & Model Graphix Alternate Valkyrie Markings

Showa Pop! Macross & Model Graphix Alternate Valkyrie Markings
By Leonardo Flores

What I have been liking about collecting Bandai and Hasegawa Valkyrie model kits is the alternate non-canon markings and schemes that are included with their Valkyrie kits. Having built the same TV and DYRL markings for the last 25 years its nice to step out and have a little fun with developing my own paint schemes based on markings that are included with the kit.

Some of the best alternate Valkyrie markings available are the decals released in a partnership by Model Graphix and Hasegawa in the 1990's. This particular sheet was a limited edition bonus that was included in the Hasegawa 1/72 VF-1S Valkyrie Special Clear Green model kit from the 1990's.

Not only was the regular VF-1S decal sheet included but a bonus set of Model Graphix decals with markings for four aircraft and a color side profile sheet was also included. Although pictures for six aircraft are pictured, this sheet only has marking for four aircraft, assuming that the other markings are including in the two other Special Clear sets. A fun set of decals that I look forward to using.
