+**[Update: September 2022]** - Started building this kit. It's a relatively small number of parts compared to some later Macross designs, and a nice, straight-forward aircraft style build with those clear instructions from Hasegawa.
+The build process for this one is intended to allow me to build up the various sub-components to a point where they can be primed and painted in their flat colour, then assembled. There are a few parts, like the wings, engine intakes, that you can't paint properly once they are glued in place, so they need to be nearly finished before they are fixed in their final position.
+For the colour scheme I am going to try and mainly stick to the box art so that I can use the lovely waterslide decals, but likely with less beige in the grey, as I don't want as quite an orange tint to it.
