Here comes Luca's RVF-25! Luca Angeloni is the tech specialist in the team, so his valkyrie isn't exactly the most sought after compared to the likes of Ozma, Alto or Michael. The RVF-25 is equipped for electronic warfare with the large radome and sensor capabilities.
Part 1: with Super Parts
Fighter:


The unique radome

And the sensor fin which can be flipped out


Radome expands!


Gerwalk:

Gerwalk mode SUCKS. BIG TIME. I spent 15 minutes trying to get this guy to pose without the back wing section collapsing.

Luca. Well, actually it's the same blob of plastic for every VF-25 :P

Battroid:


RVF-25's unique bug-like head... cute :D

Luca is seldom seen in aggressive fighting mode though, he prefers to send out his Ghosts to do the work.

The large radome partially blocks the wing boosters from closing.
Part 2: without Super Parts
Battroid:

Yeah, he looks naked without the super parts!

But like all the other VF-25 valkyries, the poseability increases dramatically without the extra parts!

Gerwalk:


Gerwalk on the stand is pretty boring...

You have to cheat a little to get the aggresive "A-stance" that we all love Unfortunately this "cheat" is so unstable that you have to fiddle with the angle and joints so that it doesn't collapse. Sigh. Bandai, bandai....
Fighter:


Radome spinning effect :P


The radome can be totally removed to make it a generic VF-25.
The box art:


Now that SMS Skull Squadron is completed, what next? Get Macross Quarter?? :P
