Imai 1/72 VF-1 #4

Completed most of the seams filling and base painting. Cockpit details has been applied, PE also just arrived. The landing gears are not too bad, however there is NO landing gear bay. To me it is a show stopper, and I decided to build the kit without landing gear. 







On the other hand, I am also NOT into hand brushing the 1/72 pilot. Therefore, the final product would be weird - the VF-1 is in flying mode (aka all landing gears are folded / invisible), canopy closed but pilot is missing. 

How about this, it is a space fighter (who can say it is not ?), it can "land" inside mothership or base in floating mode (zero gravity), so it is perfectly fine to build in such way. :)
