The 4th entry in the Macross Delta Mecha Collection series is the Sv-262Hs Draken III — structurally, it's the 3rd all-new mecha design in the lineup, following the Siegfried and Nightmare Plus. Unlike its predecessors, it sports a distinctive design with a dark body color accented by gold trim, and those arrow-shaped protruding wings really make a strong impression.

Look closely and you'll notice the color separation is actually pretty well done, even covering the subtle front and rear vernier areas. On top of that, the gold trim sections are nicely rendered with seals, so the overall finish of the straight build + seals combo is quite solid.

True to the nature of the series, this is a kit that punches above its weight visually despite its small size. The value for money isn't the greatest, but it feels tailor-made for collecting — the kind of lineup where you find yourself picking up one, then another, and before you know it you've got them all. :-)
