Take to the skies with the signature Variable Fighter of Hayate Immelman in the Hasegawa Macross Delta VF-31J Siegfried Hayate Machine 1/72 Model Kit. Based on its appearance in the hit anime Macross Delta, this beautifully engineered kit faithfully recreates Hayate’s sleek VF-31J Siegfried in its elegant Fighter Mode, showcasing Hasegawa’s exceptional aircraft modelling expertise and attention to detail.
Featuring crisp engraved panel lines, movable details and an authentic decal sheet, this traditional plastic model kit is perfect for Macross enthusiasts and aircraft modellers alike. Whether displayed on its landing gear or posed in flight on a compatible display stand, the VF-31J is a striking centrepiece for any collection.
Hayate Immelman’s Signature Variable Fighter
The VF-31J Siegfried serves as the personal Variable Fighter of Hayate Immelman, ace pilot of Delta Flight. Developed by Chaos Valkyrie Works, the VF-31J combines incredible speed, atmospheric agility and advanced Fold Wave technology to support the tactical singer unit Walküre in their battle against the Var Syndrome.
With its distinctive forward-swept wings, blue-and-white colour scheme and streamlined profile, Hayate’s VF-31J has become one of the most recognisable Variable Fighters in the Macross franchise.
