Bought as part of a set of 5x Zentraedi ships in the early 2000's and sat, sealed and unbuilt for the better part of 20 years. These are simple kits, but also one of the only options for the bad guy battleships from the TV show.

These kits were distributed with a random character figure (from the TV show) included; not necessarily one related to the ship model.

Assembly; the larger flagship model is probably the most simplistic of all the old Arii Macross kits in this series - two main hull parts, with a small number of addons. The hull is the most detailed of all these kits, and the seams of the two parts also are mainly hidden by the recess which runs the entire circumference of the model:

Mostly a good fit, though the bow of the ship needed a little bit of sanding down. Not a massive amount, but it would be noticeable if left as-is:
