Ahhh the Valkyrie... Too bad it has no VC.
I have bought a plastic transformable model, with the Strike Valkyrie additionnal parts, while I was in Tokyo. Sooo cool

Had it, but took it away. Was near to impossible to land. Even at zero throttle the engines still gave enough juice to keep it afloat. The only way to keep the darn thing from creeping onward on the ground was to engage minimum engines reverser (as even parking brakes were fundamentally useless) end it was impossible to fly in any alternate configuration.
And even being I among the few here in Italy who has seen the real Macross series (and not the american half-witted Frankenstein-ed horror, that I'm trying strongly to forget), in the end, the work needed to remake the dynamics files to make it usable overcame my interest for the plane.

LOL, yeah this model is totally unflyalbe but it makes for some good pictures and fit this months contest theme pretty good. :)
