"Macross Plus: Yamato 1/60 YF-19 with Fold Booster & Fast Pack!"

Here comes Yamato's 1/60 scale YF-19 with Fold Booster & Fast Pack! Saw it at the Queensbay shop selling for RM790. At first wanted to wait for sales, but then... gosh I've been waiting like forever to get a YF-19, and this one even comes with the Fold booster... what the heck, just grab it!

The YF-19 has inverted wings, very different compared to conventional fighters...

It can be a two-seater to hold Isamu and his co-pilot, although it's a pretty tight squeeze.

Transformation is simple. The only problem is that the chest portion doesn't lock into place. So if you do a flip, everythings comes apart :S

YF-19 is rather on the thin side.

... but he has this handsome face :)

And now together with his rival, the YF-21!

Just love how their colors blend with one another.

And FINALLY, the trinity of fighters from Macross Plus: VF-11B, YF-19 and YF-21~~ both YF-19 and YF-21 is at least a head taller than VF-11B.

Wait, where's the Fold booster?? Erm... unfortunately the Fold booster requires 3 LR44 batteries which were not included (RM790 and they can't even include it). It has some LED features which light up and dance to simulate the fold process. Once I know what a LR44 battery looks like, will update another post ;)
