Yamato’s OnlineShop has revealed exclusive 1/60 VF-1 Unpaint Versions, in the A, J, and S variants! Sure we’ve seen Unpaint Ver.’s before, but only in VF-1S form(as an unbuilt kit, and pre-built), and as an added bonus, these new versions come with extra parts for battroid mode! Side covers, and a raised ejection seat are included. The VF-1J kit in particular comes with the capsule used to transport Komilia in episode 30 of SDF Macross! This capsule is made out of resin and has a movable/opening cover. Included are water transfer decals for the TV VF-1S Roy Focker Special and VF-1J Hikaru Custom. These unpaint versions were 1st shown late last month. Each variant runs for ¥6,825 and is planned for release in October.
Also up for preorder are brass photo etch parts for the V2 1/60 VF-1 Valkyrie series! Parts include:
- Removable randome
- Radar
- Antennas
- Joystick
- Throttle
- Cockpit parts
- Ejection seat parts
- Separated intake covers
- Engine nozzle detail parts

Yamato VF1 Unpaint Ver
That's cool.
Just kidding! Anyway, I think I might want to get one of those, but I shudder to think what it would cost through an intermediary, for what is basically an unfinished 1/60. I'm not a modeler or customizer, but I like the idea of having a "blank" 1/60. We'll see what the budget holds I guess... I am still deciding if I want another TV Roy if HLJ puts them back on sale at some point with the restock...
I know that my boy Firmpulse has to see this... I would love to see him take this and make it his own.
