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!

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.
