Hello,

Here is a review of the superb ES-11D "Cat's Eye", (too) shortly appearing in the 10th episode ('Blind Game") of the original Macross serie. So far as I know, the kit has been originally casted by John Moscato, and now reboxed by Neptune Models.

Thanks for posting this review. It makes me want it more but it's out of stock at Starship Modeler.

Didn't even know they made a model of this craft. Impressive.

This is my favourite kit of the Captain's. I think the linework is executed brilliantly and the detail is phenomenal. I would have snapped it up if I had not already built one! Highly recommended.
