"Macross Zero: Yamato's 1/60 SV-51 Ivanov Type!"

Here comes Ivanov's SV-51 from Macross Zero! Ivanov is Roy Focker's flight instructor and is from the Anti-United Nations faction (as opposed to the UN Spacy).

Fighter:

The stand is included :D And SV-51 can look more menacing with the add-on missiles!

To make it even more fearsome, add on the boosters!!

Unfortunately with the combined weight of all the missiles and boosters, the wings began to sag :-S

Gerwalk:

Gerwalk mode looks like a crow~~

But the wings are flexible, so it can be posed as straight wings also (but not anime-accurate).

Transformation is engaging and fun. But it's also far more complicated than the VF-1. Since Macross Zero is set one year before Macross, it's a bit hard to believe they could've designed something this advanced at that time. Anyway....

SV-51's head can be extended.. check out those red eyes :)

Ambushing Roy's VF-0S! SV-51 is designed for combat from the start and is far superior to the VF-0. Ivanov and his wingman, Nora, torment Roy and main hero, Shin Kudo everytime they duel.

Size comparison: SV-51 towers over the already massive VF-0S! It is the biggest valkyrie in the entire series~~

Got this for a bargain RM550 (retail price RM700)! Pretty good deal and a great addition to the collection :)
