Hasegawa 65723 - VF-11B Super Thunderbolt Model Overview

The Hasegawa 65723 VF-11B Super Thunderbolt recreates the Macross PLUS jet in 1/72 scale with an emphasis on accurate silhouette and panel detail. This kit is aimed at modellers who like to refine seams and add weathering.

Parts and Finish

Components are moulded to present crisp panel lines and minimise flash, making it easier to focus on finishing techniques. Colour separation of parts reduces the initial painting load while still rewarding detailed paintwork.

Assembly Challenges

Although the kit snaps together, some steps require careful alignment and trimming. Experience with masking and fine brushes will help achieve clean colour boundaries and a polished result.

Specifications

  • Scale: 1/72
  • Color Separation: Parts are molded in base colors; painting is optional.
  • Assembly Type: Snap-fit

Hasegawa 65723 VF-11B Super Thunderbolt is rewarding for modellers who enjoy precise assembly and realistic finishing. Its tidy engineering and decal set support an impressive display model.

Build time varies with skill and finish level; expect several evenings for a neat snap-fit assembly, or longer if adding paint and weathering.
Yes, clear sections are provided. Mask them carefully before painting to preserve transparency and avoid paint bleed on frames.
A fine wash or pin wash is effective; apply to recessed lines, wipe excess, then seal. Pre-shading under the base coat also boosts contrast.
The kit can be shown with landing gear retracted or down depending on assembly choices. Test-fit wheel bays before committing to glue.
Detail painting small panels and intakes brings out depth and realism. Use a fine brush and thin paints to avoid obscuring fine moulded lines.
