Bandai SD VE-1 ElintSeeker "Macross" *FINISHED*

[JamesPerrin]

So I picked this up for £4 at Telford in a bag; it's Bandai, it's Macross and it's a Super Deform (ie an egg plane) and it transforms!



A couple of evenings mainly filling, sanding and re-polishing the plastic got me a completed and transformable VE-1





No the kit comes with some awful foil stickers and I'm left with a quandary of what do I paint? I would like to keep the white bare plastic and just do the other bits and markings.

That's weird, but fun looking! Looks great

Thanks guys, painting all done. I left the white plastic bare and just painted the other details. I largely used enamels as there was no primer coat. I only used a decal for the red stripe across the fuselage which came from some spare decals for a 1/72 VF-1! The eye was fashioned from card to cover the joint seam, and sprayed silver and clear red.

A fun build and for once quick!

PS and the gun fire missiles too!

Nicely done, James and what an interesting little beastie that is!

[DavidWomby]

I like the Battroid form best. No PSR on that build, eh, James? That must have been nice.
