Here’s two variants of the VF-1A model – the red/black version from the “Do You Remember Love?” Macross movie and the brown version from the Macross series. I purchased the red/black version on a trip to Japan in 1985 and the brown version (the first one I received for my Macross collection) I received as a Christmas present in 1984. The brown version was 70 dollars back in Dec 84. The red/black version was purchased for about 20 dollars back in 1985.

Is this the red and black one with the dark gray armor?
No, it just came as the plane – no armor.
