It is an old kit. No colour separation, you have to paint everything. Lots of parts must be glued on to stablise. Combine painting and gluing, you have a logistic nightmare. If you skim on painting, it looks ugly, nothing like the cartoon colour wise. If you do not glue, it is a grenade. If you get the order wrong, you risk repainting. Let me tell you, it is not easy to open up glued part and repaint them. Unless you are a die hard fan of macross and have at least 3 years experience of painting model kits, I strongly recommend you to stay away from this kit.
