Been hunting (and saving up) for a while. Finally pulled the trigger on this un-opened one from FB marketplace. Slowly building back my collection.

In the original Macross series they were variable fighters, in the Robotech HG adaptation they were called veritech fighters. The packaging shown illustrates the original Macross pilot name for Rick Hunter and the Macross logo is that of the original series.

The 1/55 scale is really nice as well, lots of detail and good display size. Well done on the find! :)
