Yamato 1/60 Super and Strike Parts for VF-1 English Manual
One of the great add-ons for the 1/60 scale VF-1 kits of Yamato is the 1/60 Super & Strike Parts for VF-1. Featured in the latter parts of the Macross SDF1 anime series, the Super Parts vastly increase the capabilities of the VF-1 Valkyrie by adding more range, speed and firepower to the basic frame.
The Strike parts differ from the Super Parts with the presence of the long range beam cannon. The Strike Parts were featured in the Macross Do You Remember Love movie, which was a retelling of the original anime series.
Aside from the micro missiles found in the back pack and arms of the Add-on, included also with the kit are the 4 antiship nuclear missiles that are hung under the wing of the VF-1. These gave the VF-1 the capabilty to single-handedly take down a Zentradi space cruiser.
