Product summary for the VF-31J Siegfried HG 1/100

The Bandai HG 1/100 VF-31J Siegfried, featuring Hayate Immelmann markings, is a precise model kit aimed at Macross enthusiasts. Water-slide decals are supplied to recreate small insignia and emblems faithfully. The kit balances detail and accessibility with parts designed for accurate fit.

Notable Kit Attributes

Specifications

  • Scale: 1/100
  • Decals: Water-slide decals included
  • Assembly Type: Snap-fit

Finishing and Care

Snap-fit assembly keeps the process quick, but careful part cleanup and light detailing will lift the finished model. Use panel lining and clear coats to protect waterslide decals and enhance overall appearance for shelf display.

The Bandai HG 1/100 VF-31J Siegfried combines accurate shaping and included water decals to deliver a compact but impressive addition to a model collection.

How long does the typical build take?

Build time varies with experience and finishing level. A straightforward snap-fit assembly can take a few hours, while painting, decal work and weathering may extend the project to several sessions.

What are good supplies for decal application?

Have tweezers, small scissors, a soft brush, decal setting solution and a gloss varnish on hand. These items help position decals cleanly and prevent lifting or silvering.

Can I customise the colour scheme?

Yes. The kit accepts paint well; masking and thin coats give the best results. Custom schemes are common among collectors to create unique displays.

How should I store the finished model?

Keep completed models away from direct sunlight and dust. A display case or covered shelf reduces fading and protects delicate decals and paintwork.
