After major advances in spacecraft propulsion, the Zenon space station in the Omikron sector was less and less visited and quickly fell into disrepair. The latest generation of spaceships were able to reach the most inhabited sectors in the system without a stopover. Subsequently, the Xæraba space station in the Qoppa sector became a vibrant hub where trade thrives, expeditions to unknown sectors are set up and is home to the largest shipping company in the entire Laniakea cluster.
The Liege based organization is
also known for its production of
bicycles, cars, trucks, military
vehicles and motorcycles.
Located in Herstal near Liege
(Luik) the company produced
in 1899 its fi
rst automobile, a 2
cylinder, 796 cc capacity with
a transverse engine, 2 forward
and 1 reverse gear. Th
e produc-
tion line commenced in 1900 and
stopped in 1938 due to the mass
importation of US made cars.
Like the Minerva from
Antwerpen (Antwerp) the com-
petition proved too much, the
company continued motorcy-
cle, truck production and arma-
ments.

I am so proud, and I wanted to thank each and everyone of you for being so supportive of my son and I. You have been wonderful friends. I miss corresponding with you and I am a little behind, but I promise to catch up! Thank you again.....see you soon!! Love Susan!
Based on an old Trans-Canada-Airlines poster advertising non-stop service between New York and Toronto. My version created entirely in Adobe Illustrator using my fictional "Great Plains Airways" airline.
This base was the most difficult to paint.....So many nooks and crannies.
However, the outcome was worth the frustration in my opinion.
Hope you guys like it.
Comments & criticism are welcome

---
San Diego is a city that revels in its proximity to the ocean and is steeped in history. After all, San Diego is the first place that Europeans visited on the west coast. In the mid 1500s, Spanish colonists claimed the area for Spain and 200 years later, the settlement of Alta California was formed based on this early colonial foundation. San Diego became a part of the United States in 1850 after 30 years of being part of Mexico.*
Balboa Park was first known as City Park. It was created in the 1860s and was renamed Balboa Park in 1910. It is named after Vasco Nuñez de Balboa, the first European to spot the Pacific Ocean.

Some background:
The VF-1 was developed by Stonewell/Bellcom/Shinnakasu for the U.N. Spacy by using alien Overtechnology obtained from the SDF-1 Macross alien spaceship. It was preceded into production by an aerodynamic proving version of its airframe, the VF-X. Unlike all later VF vehicles, the VF-X was strictly a jet aircraft, built to demonstrate that a jet fighter with the features necessary to convert to Battroid mode was aerodynamically feasible.
After the VF-X's testing was finished, an advanced concept atmospheric-only prototype, the VF-0 Phoenix, was flight-tested from 2005 to 2007 and briefly served as an active-duty fighter from 2007 to the VF-1's rollout in late 2008, while the bugs were being worked out of the full-up VF-1 prototype (VF-X-1).
The space-capable VF-1's combat debut was on February 7, 2009, during the Battle of South Ataria Island - the first battle of Space War I, and was the mainstay fighter of the U.N. Spacy for the entire conflict. Introduced in 2008, the VF-1 would be out of frontline service just five years later.
The VF-1 proved to be an extremely capable craft, successfully combating a variety of Zentraedi mecha even in most sorties, which saw UN Spacy forces significantly outnumbered. The versatility of the Valkyrie design enabled the variable fighter to act as both large-scale infantry and as air/space superiority fighter. The signature skills of U.N. Spacy ace pilot Maximilian Jenius exemplified the effectiveness of the variable systems as he near-constantly transformed the Valkyrie in battle to seize advantages of each mode as combat conditions changed from moment to moment.
The basic VF-1 was deployed in four minor variants (designated A, D, J, and S) with constant updates and several sub-variants during its long and successful career. Its success was increased by the GBP-1S "Armored" Valkyrie and FAST Pack "Super" Valkyrie weapon systems, the latter enabling the fighter to operate in space.
After the end of Space War I, the VF-1 continued to be manufactured both in the Sol system (notably on the Lunar facility Apollo Base) and throughout the UNG space colonies. Although the VF-1 would eventually be replaced as the primary VF of the UN Spacy by the more capable, but also much bigger, VF-4 Lightning III in 2020, a long service record and continued production after the war proved the lasting worth of the design.
The VF-1 was without doubt the most recognizable variable fighter of Space War I and was seen as a vibrant symbol of the U.N. Spacy even into the first year of the New Era 0001 in 2013. At the end of 2015 the final rollout of the VF-1 was celebrated at a special ceremony, commemorating this most famous of variable fighters.
The 1st generation VF-1 Valkryie was built from 2006 to 2013 with a total production of 5,459 VF-1 variable fighters and in several variants (VF-1A = 5,093, VF-1D = 85, VF-1J = 49, VF-1S = 30, VF-1G = 12, VE-1 = 122, VT-1 = 68). However, the type proved to be very versatile and many more VF-1s were built from spares, and ongoing modernization programs like the “Plus” MLU update incorporated stronger engines and avionics from the VF-1’s successor, the VF-4 (including the more powerful radar, IRST sensor and a laser designator/range finder). These updates later led to the VF-1N, P and X variants, which, among modernized avionics and an improved cockpit layout, featured modified wings.
However, the fighter remained active in many second line units and continued to show its worthiness years later, e. g. through Milia Jenius who would use her old VF-1 fighter in defense of the colonization fleet - 35 years after the type's service introduction!

The kit and its assembly:
Another submission to the 2017 "Science Fiction" Group Build at whatifmodelers.com, and once more the eventual realization of a long- plan: a VF-1 in a dazzle scheme! To my surprise, I have never seen this, neither in the canonical sources (except for a VF-5000 with an all-grey splinter scheme, similar to the experimental US Keith Ferris schemes), nor on a model? Well, time to try this stunt ...again; I had actually built a VF-1D as a non-transformable supersonic trainer many years ago, and applied a livery inspired by the Keith Ferris schemes, but with very soft blue-grey tones, so that the disruptive effect of the underlying splinter would hardly "work". So, this is a second approach to the theme, and a more visually-oriented one.
This vintage ARII VF-1J fighter kit was built OOB, with the landing gear tucked up. This kit showed its age, though, the moulds seem to be well worn because the sprues showed considerable flash and other soft spots.
Anyway, the model received my usual additions of some blade antennae, a pilot figure and a custom display stand in/under the ventral cannon pod. The ordnance is standard, too, the full load of a dozen AAM-1 missiles is OOB. The only true additions are a small, scratched fairing for an IRST sensor under the nose, seen in a source book profile of an U.N.S.A.F. VF-1, and RHAWS antennae at the top of the fins.
Painting and markings:
This was the bigger part of the work, and a creative one, too. I did not simply want to copy an existing scheme, e .g. the Keith Ferris schemes that had been tested on some US aircraft.
The scheme was to be disruptive, confusing and also decorative - true camouflage was rather a secondary requirement, but welcome. Creating such a scheme from scratch is not as easy as it sounds, because you have to avoid collisions of the same color, the overall look needs some balance, and the scheme and its single shard shapes were to somewhat correspond with the Valkyrie’s outlines, too.
Since I did not dare to improvise this directly on the kit, and because I wanted to use more than three tones for the paint scheme, I actually created a VF-1 4-side view on a sheet of paper and started painting it out with colored pencils!
This was actually very helpful and I ended up with a four-tone scheme, rooted in pure black and white and somewhat inspired by pre-WWII dazzle schemes for ships.
Consequently the tones are black (I used a tone called Tar Black, Revell 6, which is actually a very dark grey), a dark/medium grey (Humbrol 27), light grey (Humbrol 64) and white (again, not the pure tone, but rather a very light grey, mixed from 95% Humbrol 130 and 5% Humbrol 64).
The pattern consists of large color sections, geometrical shapes, wedges and a few stripes at some intersections. It (unintentionally) reminds of certain late Su-27 schemes in Russian services, as well as US aggressors that carry similar outfits, e. g. some F-18s of USN’s VFC-12. But these are rather geometrical shapes added to a camouflage/grey background, and not as integral as my design.
The scheme was applied mostly free-handedly with brushes and a mix of enamels and acrylic paint. From certain angles it actually breaks up the VF-1's outlines well, esp. its silhouette, and at a quick glance it is actually hard to tell the Valkyrie’s orientation or direction of flight. In order to add some more onlooker confusion, I also added a fake cockpit with a white pilot helmet (cut from decal sheet) on top of the fuselage.
All other markings are rather minimal and subdued. Lacking different contrasting color options, I used yellow decals for the “U.N. Spacy” tags on the legs and the upper starboard wing. The “kite” insignia in grey and white were printed at home, while the tactical code comes from a Tamiya 1:100 Thunderchief. The chequered stripe on top of the fin is a generic decal, and blank, beige decal sheet was used for the wings’ and fins’ leading edges.
The rest came mostly from various OOB VF-1 sheets.
The ordnance was painted authentically, too. The AMM-1’s became all-white with black and red trim, the gun pod was painted Dark Sea Grey (Humbrol 123), blending into the overall color palette of this dazzle VF-1.
Except for a black ink wash, emphasizing the engraved panel lines, not much other weathering was done. Finally, the kit was sealed with matt acrylic varnish.
An… interesting result, and I am surprised how much the dazzle scheme changes the overall look of the VF-1, despite no fundamental changes to the airframe as such. Building was relatively simple, but the kit is not complex – just pretty old. Anyway, this updated aggressor bird makes a nice addition to the VF-1 collection, a worthwhile effort. A true eye catcher, I’d say.
