Thoughts
Macross Zero is a prequel to the original Macross series, set before the 1982 TV series. Although supposedly early vehicle designs, I think the VF-0 mecha is probably the best version of the Macross Valkyrie. Every part of it is just better, compared to the original VF-1 design.

Box artwork…
Manual / instructions and extensive waterslide decal set….
Manual instructions - absolutely minimal Japanese text, as with most Gundam models, I don't think you'd need to know any Japanese to build this (good thing for me!). Also image of the individual sprues. I'd say this was well above a High-Grade Gundam in complexity and approaching a Master Grade; perhaps even exceeding some of the older MG designs. One thing is clear, the molding and surface detail is exquisite.
