Yeah, they were designed for the Hasegawa models. I'm not sure if it was first done by a custom model maker and then worked into the kits by Hasegawa, or if Hasegawa came up with it on their own and marketed it etc. They are not canon, but definitely cool.

I know one scheme came as simply a set of ooptional decals and the other scheme came packaged exclusively with a Hasegawa VF-1S Strike Battroid kit.

Here's a pic of the option decals version.

They came from an issue of Model Graphix magazine in Japan.
