The Hasegawa 65717 1/72 VF-1 Super/Strike Valkyrie is a thoughtfully engineered kit that balances accurate styling with straightforward assembly. It suits modellers who want a clean build that can be enhanced with paint and extra detailing.

Mould Quality and Assembly

Injection moulding is clean with well defined panel lines that reduce the need for heavy filing. The snap-fit connections are reliable, and minimal putty work is usually enough to tidy any small joins. Painting remains optional but is the best way to bring out finer elements.

Showcase and Movement

Finished models display the Valkyrie profile well and allow for a few dynamic poses. The kit does not prioritise extensive articulation, but it captures the essence of movement typical to the series while remaining stable on a shelf.

Modding and Finishing

This kit is a good base for upgrades such as aftermarket decals, panel line washes, and subtle weathering. Builders can choose from straightforward brush painting to airbrush techniques to achieve different visual effects.

With solid fit and clear panel definition, the Hasegawa 65717 VF-1 Super/Strike Valkyrie is a dependable choice for hobbyists who enjoy finishing work and for collectors building a themed display.
