This is the 9th entry in the Macross Delta Mecha Collection series — the Sv-262Ba Draken III [Bogue], featuring a different wing design compared to the previously released Sv-262Hz Draken III.

The overall build is the same as before — it's a small, cute little display model kit that still manages to pack in some decent detail. That said, there's a real quality issue with the seals included in this kit: the adhesion is unusually weak, making it extremely difficult to get them to stick properly on curved surfaces. The matte-ish finish does give it a nicely painted look, which is great, but unlike previous seals, something seems to have changed with the material, because these just won't stay on. T_T In my case, I ended up using both Micro Sol and glue just to barely get the seals to "sit" on there before taking photos.

Anyway, as a small display kit the basic quality is fine, but those seals — with adhesion so weak they look like they'd blow off in a light breeze — are a fatal flaw that makes this kit hard to recommend. I've built thousands of Bandai kits over the years, but I've never seen seals this absurdly bad at sticking. -_-
