Bandai Model Kit HG 1/100 YF-21
Unleash the aerial supremacy and technological power of the Macross universe with the articulated, transformable model of the legendary YF-21. From the famous Macross Plus animated series, this scale model belongs to the High Grade (HG) reference category in 1/100 scale. Specially designed by Bandai for fans of Japanese culture and technical modelling, this exceptional kit perfectly captures the aerodynamic lines and modular engineering of the famous Variable Fighter developed to compete with the YF-19.
The sleek, streamlined and purely technological silhouette of this interceptor is distinguished by its distinctive navy blue and grey livery, fine tactical markings and flowing wings. Breaking away from the purely military robot architecture of the Gundam saga, this model incorporates the innovative 'Shortcut Change' transformation system developed by Bandai. Thanks to this precision engineering, the parts fit together logically to provide stable, fluid articulations, perfect for adding lasting value to your display case.
