Interesting choice of markings, even the VF-84 ones are the less represented from the '80s with the small star and bar... however the price of these two kits is surprisingly high ! The same HLJ has in stock hasegawa kits for 800 yen less and the Fine Molds kit for almost 200 less, and both kits are miles ahed of the HB offering in terms of pretty much everything

They are reboxed imported kits so they command a high price to keep the Japanese home manufacturers happy.
