## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is it transformable?**
A: No, Hasegawa model kits are not transformable

**Q: Does this have the swing wing mechanism  (if moved both wings move in unison)**
A: Yes. Similar in design to most F-14 Tomcat or F-111 models.

**Q: I wanted to have crew for it but there scale, is smaller than American. What would fit both my 1:48 and 1:72?**
A: This is the 1:48 then your crew can be fix to your scale model. But for your 1:72 it will be big to fid in.

**Q: I’m looking at this for a gift for someone who asked for a Robotech gift. Is this Robotech?**
A: This is From Super Dimension Fortress Macross, not Robotech even though Robotech uses the same animation for its first story arc. In 1984, Harmony Gold licensed the first Macross series from Tatsunoko and planned to dub the series on home video. In 1985, Harmony Gold edited and rewrote the series with The Super Dimension Cavalry Southern Cross and Genesis Climber Mospeada, collectively releasing them as Robotech, to syndicate on weekday television and to promote a Revell model line.  

For a Robotech specific model you want what is called the Veritech Fighter.  Other than the name, they are identical, but for hardcore collectors it matters about the name, otherwise for knowledgeable fans they would probably love either one.

Nicely detailed model. Although the instructions are in Japanese.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fine detail, well molded and fitting parts
*by G***R on January 11, 2018*

Hasagawa is known for its quality kits, and this is no different. Fine detail, well molded and fitting parts, and easy instructions to follow, even if they are in Japanese and not english. I will buy this kit again, if only to build the other variant (comes with the head and decals for two different planes.)
