Yamato/Arcardia 1/60 VF-1D Valkyrie Unofficial English Color Guide

Here's an interesting question I got, how do you paint the iconic VF-1D Valkyrie that was released as a No Paint kit by Yamato/Arcadia if no color guide was included. Well I never saw the manual of the VF-1D No Paint kit so I can't tell if it has an included color guide or not. But despite that there are alternatives that you can use.




Like for instance you can use the color guide included with the Hasegawa 1/72 VF-1D Valkyrie Model Kit.


Color Guide was taken from the manual posted at Hobby Search
