Good day
I was helping in my parents basement came across a box containing the transformers version of the g1 valkiere in near mint condition. The plane is white with a few chips of red missing on the nose. The armor needs to be panel lined. So how do I touch it up, weather and add weapons? Since I just want to display it .
Hi armyrn. I am not familiar with this kit. Perhaps some pictures of its current condition might be helpful.
here is jet fire with all the decals as he appeared in 1984.

mine is just white and all the parts are just red. sorry for non specific photos i had trouble uploading. so mine has minor chipping on tip of nose. otherwise in near mint condition.
Looks a lot like the Revell Robotech Changers jet/robot model kits. As a kid, I built the Nebo (Orguss) and the camouflaged Orbot (Valkerie). I still have the red Axoid I bought a few years ago. I think it is the one (when painted in original red/white scheme) they originally used for Jetfire.
HI Rob. Yep, it’s essentially the same ship painted differently. Jetfire was based on the VF-1S Valkyrie (4 head guns) which Revell boxed as “Vexar” (bottom left on your pic). Axoid was a VF-1J with 2 head guns and Orbot was the 2-seater VF-1D. Jetfire also included the booster pods and FAST packs from the “Super Valkyrie” which appeared in several Macross episodes.
Yeah, I had been searching for copies of the instructions for the original kit that Axoid should be built into with the red and white scheme since the decals were unchanged.
Here’s a photo of the original kit box to give you an idea of the original red & white color scheme.
This is the color & decals page from the kit. Sorry, it didn’t scan very well.
Thanks, it helps a lot
