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.
