Bandai 1/100 HG YF-29 Durandal Valkyrie (Maximilian Genus Custom) Full Set Pack

The YF-29 Durandal Valkyrie is a cutting-edge variable fighter that first appeared in the anime series "Macross Delta Zettai LIVE!!!!!!". This high-grade (HG) model kit from Bandai captures the beauty and complexity of this iconic mecha in stunning detail.

The kit features a "Shortcut Change" system that simplifies the transformation sequence, making it easy to pose the Durandal Valkyrie in any of its three forms: Fighter, Gerwalk, or Battroid. The super parts can be removed and replaced, and the development of the missile hatch and fold wave projector is also reproduced by parts replacement. The booster nozzle has a telescopic gimmick, and the curved beauty of the forward wings in Fighter Mode are faithfully reproduced, as is the characteristic silhouette in Gerwalk Mode. The Battroid Mode also boasts its typical smart bodyline!

The range of motion of the arms has been expanded by giving the shoulders pull-out joints, and a triple-axis joint has been added to the chest too. Its hip joint also has a wide range of motion for dynamic and natural posing. The clear parts are made with polarization molding in three colors that change depending on how the light hits it, too!

Includes:

  • Gun pod
  • Shield
  • Knife
  • Missile deployment parts (left and right, x2)
  • Landing gear
  • Fold wave projector deployment parts (x2)
  • Fighter form reproduction parts (x1 set)
  • Joint parts
  • Hand parts
  • Base for display
  • Name sticker

Assembly Guide

SKILL LEVEL REQUIRED

Gunpla (plastic model kits) are a snap together assembly and do not need plastic cement to complete. We always recommend having some plastic cement handy as a part of your modeler's tool kit. If you prefer to fix your model in a particular pose then plastic cement will work. Plastic cement is also perfect to use if a joint is loose. Apply plastic cement in a single thin layer and allow it to dry completely before test fitting. Re-apply more cement if necessary.

Gunpla (plastic model kits) are designed to be built and displayed without the need for painting. Kits are molded in different colours replicating the colours of the actual mecha from the Gundam series. A technique called colour separation, where multiple parts of the model are molded in different colours on the same sprue is also used. Gundam kits often include stickers or water-slide decals that can be applied to the model to enhance its appearance. Some Gunpla kits come with pre-painted parts or parts with pre-applied details, such as metallic or translucent finishes.

Many modelers still choose to paint their kits to customize and add further detail. Painting allows for more creativity and personalization, enabling modelers to achieve unique effects, weathering, and colour schemes that may not be available out of the box. However, the kits are designed to be enjoyable and visually appealing even without painting, making them accessible to a wide range of hobbyists.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the Macross series about?

Macross is a legendary anime blending interstellar warfare, transforming mecha aircraft called Valkyries, and the unifying power of music. Spanning several series and movies since the 1980s, it uniquely explores cultural clashes, romance, and epic space battles.

I'm new to model building; are these kits beginner-friendly?

While many Macross kits are designed with a certain level of complexity, brands like Bandai often offer kits suitable for beginners. Always check the difficulty level before purchasing, and remember, every builder starts somewhere!

Do the model kits replicate the Valkyries' transformation capabilities?

Yes, many Macross kits, especially those by Bandai, reproduce the transformation feature, allowing the Valkyrie to shift between its fighter, Gerwalk, and Battroid modes. However, some kits might be static, so it's always good to verify before buying.

Are these kits pre-painted, or will I need to paint them myself?

Most Macross model kits come pre-coloured, capturing the vivid aesthetics of the anime. However, enthusiasts often choose to paint and detail further for enhanced accuracy and personal touch.

With multiple brands producing these kits, which one is recommended for the most authentic representation?

Each brand brings its strengths. Bandai is renowned for intricate details and transformation mechanics. Hasegawa excels in scale accuracy, while Kotobukiya and Wave impress with detailed craftsmanship. It often boils down to personal preference and the specific model you're eyeing.
