Title: Macross VF-11D
Post by: Firefox on June 16, 2023, 11:54:24 PM
Another one from the Macross Plus anime series  ;D . I changed the colour scheme to a slightly more realistic one. The two missiles are from other Macross kits and I added four LGBs to make it look closer to the real world.

It's part of the ECM system and sticks up from the head in "battdroid" mode.
;D

That actually sounds more logical than the ECM idea, even if it did fire backwards.
