Macross Plus - Guld Goa Bowman's YF-21 Sturmvögel - 1/144 - Die-cast Valkyrie Series, Fighter Mode (Doyusha)Guld Goa Bowman's YF-21 Sturmvögel · 1/144 · Doyusha

Doyusha presents the YF-21 Sturmvögel in Fighter Mode from Macross Plus, part of their Die-cast Valkyrie Series at 1/144 scale. Piloted by Guld Goa Bowman, this variable fighter is rendered in its sleek fighter configuration and constructed from die-cast metal and PVC components. Macross Plus is set in 2040 and follows three former childhood friends — Isamu Dyson, Guld Goa Bowman, and Myung Fang Lone — whose tangled past resurfaces during the Project Super Nova competition, a military program testing two prototype fighters to replace the aging VF-11 Thunderbolt. Guld, a Zentradi-human pilot, flies the YF-21, an advanced fighter featuring brain-directive control technology and a design heavily inspired by the real-world YF-23 stealth fighter. The rivalry between Guld and Isamu, both competing pilots haunted by a shared trauma involving Myung, drives the OVA's emotional core. This Doyusha release captures the YF-21 in its fighter mode, emphasizing the aircraft's distinctive angular silhouette. The die-cast construction gives the figure a satisfying weight, appealing to Macross mecha collectors who appreciate the engineering of these iconic variable fighters.
