Pre-Order Bandai 1/100 HG VF-31S Siegfried (Arad Molders')

Arad Molders' VF-31S Siegfried, Delta Flight Leader

Arad Molders commands Delta Flight, the mercenary demonstration and tactical squadron of Chaos, in Macross Delta. A veteran pilot with callsign Delta 1, Molders flies the VF-31S Siegfried, the command variant of the Kingdom of Windermere's variable fighter, finished in the squadron leader's white, teal and red colours with a "01" marking on the airframe. This kit recreates his personal machine.

This is a Skill Level 1 kit, Bandai's most approachable rating. It's snap-fit with no cement or paint required, and the transformation between Fighter, Gerwalk and Battroid modes uses a guided part-swap system rather than a fully manual one, so newcomers to Macross kits can get a clean result on the first attempt.

Technical Highlights

The kit transforms between all three signature Macross modes: Fighter, Gerwalk and Battroid. The nose section features a movable minigun pod and a canopy that opens and closes over the cockpit. Colour separation covers the white, teal and red livery straight from the runners, so no painting is needed to match the show-accurate scheme.

What Makes This Kit Special

  • Three-mode transformation: switch between Fighter, Gerwalk and Battroid using a guided part-swap system.
  • Movable minigun pod: deploys forward from the nose section for a genuine mechanical detail, not just a moulded prop.
  • Opening canopy: the cockpit canopy opens and closes over the two included pilot figures.
  • Two pilot figures included: seat Arad Molders and his co-pilot in the cockpit for Fighter mode.
  • Mikumo Guynemer companion figure: a separate small figure of Arad's Windermerean companion, on its own display base.
  • Squadron-accurate colour scheme: Delta Flight leader's white, teal and red livery moulded in, no painting required.
  • Snap-fit assembly: no glue needed anywhere in the build.

What to Watch For

A genuine search across English-language retailer, wiki and YouTube sources on 12 August 2026 turned up product listings, unboxing videos and a Bandai colour guide, but no written builder reviews with specific fit, transformation or stability feedback for this exact release yet. Nothing to flag as a build issue at this stage, stated honestly as thin coverage rather than a manufactured consensus.

Build Notes

No glue or paint required. Nippers are the only tool worth having on hand for clean part removal from the runners. The transformation between modes uses a guided part-swap system, so follow the manual step order on your first pass through each mode change. Skill Level 1, straightforward for a first Macross build.

Assembly Guide

Skill Level.1. Most adults & children can assemble Skill Level 1 kits with little to no difficulty. Very basic hobby tools are recommended including a pair of nippers, a hobby knife, but are not essential. No Glue is needed for these kits. Kits are all snap together build and most parts can be removed by twisting and pushing without the need to snip with nippers.

Gunpla (plastic model kits) are a snap together assembly and do not need plastic cement to complete. We always recommend having some plastic cement handy as a part of your modeler's tool kit. If you prefer to fix your model in a particular pose then plastic cement will work. Plastic cement is also perfect to use if a joint is loose. Apply plastic cement in a single thin layer and allow it to dry completely before test fitting. Re-apply more cement if necessary.

Gunpla (plastic model kits) are designed to be built and displayed without the need for painting. Kits are molded in different colours replicating the colours of the actual mecha from the Mecha series. A technique called colour separation, where multiple parts of the model are molded in different colours on the same sprue is also used. Mecha kits often include stickers or water-slide decals that can be applied to the model to enhance its appearance. Some Gunpla kits come with pre-painted parts or parts with pre-applied details, such as metallic or translucent finishes.

Many modelers still choose to paint their kits to customize and add further detail. Painting allows for more creativity and personalization, enabling modelers to achieve unique effects, weathering, and colour schemes that may not be available out of the box. However, the kits are designed to be enjoyable and visually appealing even without painting, making them accessible to a wide range of hobbyists.
