It was a real shock for me the first time that I saw the anime Macross Plus.  One of the best (or maybe the best?) segment of Macross saga.

Very intense story, extraordinary music and anthological aerial fight, after seeing that it was kind of evidence for me that, I have to build some Macross plus Valkyries!
After a series of Macross fighters in 1/72 scale, Hasegawa had the very good idea to release some of them in 1/48 scale, with, cherry on the cake, the YF-19 to start it!

This kit was a real pleasure to build, so I've decided to improve it with some scratch build elements (cockpit, left gun, landing gear, gun pack...).

Hope you like my YF-19 and Mister Hasegawa don't hesitate to follow the saga with an SV-51 in 1/48 scale for example!

Dedicated to all pioneers!
