You're right but the Schneeblume is not just a VF-1 reboot but part of the 2030's / 2040's Experimental Variable Fighter Program (according to Kawamori it's not part of the official series chronology for now). I mean it's not contemporary to the VF-1. This design could have been used as testbed for the VF-1 in Macross Zero but it was intended as an advanced fighter contemporary to the VF-17. Quoted form the Macross Compendium: "The United Nations Forces presented to every manufacturer the required specifications for SWX (Stealth Wing X), a programme to combine high stealthiness with air combat capabilities exceeding that of the VF-17. The United Nations Forces intended to assign the VF-17 the primary mission of long-range attacks, which would entail the need for a separate variable fighter for air superiority and defense. The SV-XA1 was created as an experimental plane for these required specifications. The VF-1 Valkyrie was chosen as the basis for the SW-XA1 due to the abundance of combat data during actual warfare. This base design was improved to current standards by equipping it with upgraded engines and avionics."

Awesome custom scheme!!! Great weathering too. Thanks for sharing your work.

Must get this kit!!!! It's my favorite VF We need a 1/60 VF-3000 made by Yamato (and a VF-4 too).

I hope you're right!!! Yamato must do the VF-0D.

Congrats, that's an amazing custom!!! So much work put into it

Listen to this man!!!

I've never seen that pic, thanks for sharing!!!

Go ahead and get it!!! Bought the VF-1D when it first hit the streets (more than a year ago, I think it was January 2009). It's awesome valk, no single flaw, the shoulders don't have a single crack.

From the pics I've seen it's GIGANTIC!!! Full of win, great news!!!!

Can't find my jaw, damn, where's my jaw???? This IS THE ULTIMATE DYRL? SDF-1!!!!!! Brilliant work, a piece of art

Great, this will be my second Bandai Mac Frontier toy after the 1/60 VF-27 Hope it's as good as Brera's DX VF-27

Great review!! I still need to get M&M's VF-22's!!! Gamlin and Guld are feeling lonely

Not with mine. Transformed it numerous times (like the VT-1 which has knurled pins). Rock solid, not a single flaw

Great custom!! Thanks for sharing the link

Awesome work Kurt!!! Who's the happy customer?

The funny thing is that I'm going to get the Regult but couldn't get any figures

Voted Spartan Cualquiera de los tres que empieces va a quedar increible!!!

Don't care about Max's exclusive. I'm only going to buy Hikaru's VF-1J and Roy's VF-1S to be in scale with Yamato's 1/100 König Monster. This exclusive tiny little piece of sh it will cost the same as a 1/60 VF-1 Yamato without Fast Packs!!! Easy pass, Yamato's 1/60 v2 VF-1 is the KING. It sucks for the people that wanted a small affordable VF-1 collection.

Another one that makes it to the buy list

Looks fantastic!!! You've done great justice to one of my favorite PG.

Get Hikaru's DYRL? VF-1S Strike first (the aniversary reissue with flashlight has the corrected shoulders)!!! I would then get Roy's VF-1S Low Viz (it's getting harder to find, it's sold out at many places). If money is not an issue, get them all

If I had to choose I prefer having the physical representation in toy form of my favorite mecha. Games are nice but not enough for me.

Absolutely brilliant!!!

Those pics are incredible!!!

The problem is that it's still a prototype, and prototypes are usually larger than the final scaled down version. The Queadluun-Rau prototype was gigantic compared to the released toy!! I'm getting the HDP kit and if Yamato decides to release it as a toy I will get it too
