This is a very rare Studio Halfeye cast of the Va-3 designed for the kickbut game Macross Vf-x2. It's an older game now, but it's still really worth looking at if you haven't seen it and are a macross fan.

This is a commission for Mark Hoffman a very long time friend of mine. This kit was extremely hard to build, and really tested me. It required machinging several new parts, replacement of screws that look more in character, and was really a big pain because it transformed into several different forms. I also resculpted and replaced the pilot with one that was more in character, as the original wore an old style uniform that they didn't wear in vf-x2

The color scheme came as a compramise cause I wanted to do something that would make it a hero aircraft, or the underwater version of the va-3, and Mark wanted it to be a standard version. The idea was that this would be the standard version of a Ravens wing, a combination of the standard red scheme, and the old style browns of the vf-1.
