The VF-4 Lightning III operated mainly in space due to minor performance issues in the atmosphere. Of course, this is all in the Macross universe, and Neil built a Wave 1/72 scale kit of the transforming mech in flight mode and outfitted it with a Hasegawa VF-1 weapon set. He primed the Lightning with Mr. Surfacer and post-shaded directly on the primer with Tamiya acrylic paints without first spraying a base coat.
