Hasegawa 65770 - 1:72 VF-0B Macross Zero

Plastic model kit of the VF-0B Valkyrie in 1:72 scale from Macross Zero

The Hasegawa 65770 kit represents the VF-0B Valkyrie, one of the earliest transformable fighter designs featured in the Macross Zero series. Set before the events of the original Macross saga, Macross Zero explores the experimental origins of Valkyrie technology.

The VF-0B was a two-seat development variant, primarily used for testing and pilot training, but also capable of combat operations. Its heavier, more rugged appearance and less refined aerodynamics distinguish it from later VF-1 and subsequent Valkyrie generations.

In the box you will find:

• plastic parts to build the VF-0B in Fighter configuration
• detailed fuselage and wing components
• weapons and equipment specific to the VF-0 series
• decals with markings from Macross Zero
• clear, illustrated assembly instructions

Model specifications:

• Scale: 1:72
• Manufacturer: Hasegawa
• Type: Valkyrie fighter (Fighter mode)

Note: The kit does not include glue, paints, or modeling tools. The model is intended for self-assembly.

The parts layout is clear and accessible even for less experienced builders. Thanks to the VF-0B’s rugged, early-generation design, the model is well suited for subtle weathering and realistic finishing techniques.

Essential tools:

• Hobby knife or sprue cutters
• Files and sandpaper
• Brushes
• Plastic cement
• Paint set matched to Macross Zero color schemes

About the VF-0B Valkyrie:

The VF-0 series was the first line of transformable Valkyrie fighters developed by UN Spacy. The two-seat VF-0B played a crucial role in testing, pilot training, and early combat deployment. Although demanding to fly and less refined than later designs, these aircraft laid the groundwork for the legendary VF-1 and the entire Valkyrie lineage.
