Hasegawa – 65891 – VF-11B Thunderbolt w/Rocket Booster

Description:

Unassembled plastic model kit in 1/72 scale depicting an Sci-Fi & Anime subject from the Macross universe, Macross Plus anime series launched in 1994, 4 episodes, and later released as film in 1995.

The VF-11B Thunderbolt, featured in Macross Plus, stands as one of the most refined variable fighters of the early 2040s in the Macross timeline. Designed as a next-generation replacement for the aging VF-1 Valkyrie, the VF-11B offered enhanced performance, modular weaponry, and sleek aerodynamics across all three transformation modes—Fighter, GERWALK, and Battroid. Its role in Macross Plus, especially when piloted by Isamu Dyson before the VF-19 came into play, solidified its status as a fan-favorite mecha with a clean, realistic aircraft aesthetic that blends science fiction with practical design.

Hasegawa’s updated 1/72 scale VF-11B Thunderbolt kit brings a fresh take on this iconic craft with newly tooled parts, including the Rocket Booster unit and a dedicated display stand for dynamic flight poses. These additions allow modelers to recreate key scenes from the OVA and add more visual drama to their builds. With sharp detailing, excellent fit, and the new parts improving versatility, this reissue offers a great opportunity for both longtime Macross fans and newcomers to add a classic bird to their collection—now with more display options than ever before. The landing gear only can be built closed, include decal sheet with a marking for United Space Forces Isamu Dyson‘s aircraft
