Macross 1/55 Armored Valkyrie GBP-1S by Takatoku




Torso Armor

The torso piece can be split into two parts to facilitate wearing. The front red panels open to display missiles. But the rendering of the missiles aren’t as detailed as they are just molded into the piece.

Back shot of the torso piece. The 4 holes on the side of the armored pack allow the gunpod “Missiles” (as written in the manual) to be stored there. Yeah yeah its not really canonically correct because the gunpod doesn’t fire missiles. The 1/55 Valkyrie however originally built by Takatoku used a gunpod that could fire projectiles at its tip and was triggered by the magazine found in the gunpod toy. I wouldn’t recommend storing “missiles” there also because they fall off easily.

Here’s the torso piece disassembled, two fasteners on each side is what keeps them together.
