Hasegawa 65844 - 1/72 VF-31F Siegfried kit breakdown

The Hasegawa 65844 - 1/72 VF-31F Siegfried recreates the Macross Delta the Movie variable fighter with attention to silhouette and panel detail. It is aimed at builders who want a solid out of the box fit with room for paintwork and detailing.

Parts quality and colour scheme

Parts are moulded in multiple colours to reflect the VF-31Fs paint areas, reducing masking during finishing. The Lill Draken components are included to capture the distinct elements of the characters Messer and Hayate.

Fitting, finishing and optional work

Snap-fit assembly keeps the build clean and quick, though modellers who prefer a refined finish will benefit from light sanding and seam removal plus selective painting. The kit responds well to washes and panel shading.

Specifications

  • Scale: 1/72
  • Assembly Type: Snap-fit
  • Color Separation: Multi-color molded parts; painting is optional

The Hasegawa 65844 - 1/72 VF-31F Siegfried is a rewarding quick-build with credible detail that suits display collections and custom paint projects alike.

What tools should I have on hand?

At minimum, keep sprue cutters, a sharp hobby knife, fine files or sanding sticks, and tweezers. A small set of paints and brushes will let you improve panel detail and markings.

Can I display the model in different modes?

The kit is primarily presented in fighter form, but careful modification can achieve other poses. Be aware that converting between modes may require extra parts or custom fitting.

Is weathering recommended for display?

Light weathering and panel wash can add realism, especially on close up display pieces. Keep it subtle so the model retains the clean appearance seen in the film.

How are the cockpit and small details handled?

Cockpit elements are simplified for scale but present. For enhanced realism, consider aftermarket decals or painting the instrument details by hand.

Will the kit take custom paint well?

Yes, with proper priming and thin paint layers the plastic accepts both acrylic and enamel finishes. Mask carefully around multi coloured areas to keep crisp separations.
