Macross Valkyrie VF-1S Gerwalk 1/170 Model Kit IMAI - Battletech Unseen (A2)

IMAI VF-1S GERWALK: RARE BATTLETECH "UNSEEN" TREASURE

VINTAGE CROSSOVER LEGACY

Step into the legendary world of Macross with this highly sought-after IMAI 1/170 scale VF-1S Valkyrie in Gerwalk mode. This vintage kit represents a unique crossover piece that connects two beloved franchises - Macross and Battletech, where it was known as an "Unseen" design. As specialists in IMAI kits (currently ranked #6 for 'imai model kits' in search results), we're proud to offer this rare treasure from our carefully curated collection of vintage Japanese models.

COLLECTOR'S SIGNIFICANCE

This isn't just any Macross kit - it's a piece of mecha gaming history. The VF-1S in Gerwalk configuration became iconic in the Battletech universe before licensing issues made these designs "Unseen" and highly collectible. Original Japanese boxing features the classic artwork that defined the era, complete with vintage instruction sheets, period-correct decals, and the unmistakable quality of first-run production. For Battletech collectors, this represents a tangible connection to the franchise's early visual inspiration.

TECHNICAL EXCELLENCE

Even at the smaller 1/170 scale, IMAI's engineering shines through with impressive detail. Precisely molded panel lines define the mechanical aesthetic of the VF-1S variant. The clear canopy parts showcase the cockpit area, while detailed weapon systems include the iconic head-mounted laser cannons of the VF-1S. The kit comes with display stand options specifically designed for the dynamic Gerwalk configuration, allowing you to showcase this hybrid mode between fighter and Battroid.
