Yup, it's another Destroid model from the Macross series. This time it's a Spartan. The only Destroid to have hands.
Was planning on doing this epic pose with it's missiles and main gun exposed, but was crushed upon discovering the model was molded with the shoulder missiles closed. 
This build has a lot more pieces to it than the Phalanx. However, due to how it is constructed it simplifies the painting, meaning assembly is easier. I've already got most of the lower arms put together.
The above is an evening's worth of work.
The fit isn't near as nice as on the newer kits but with judicious use of glue and clamping most of the seams are disappearing. Lots of scraping is in my future.
I'm not sold on the original color scheme or the box art. I'm debating on whether to do a variant of the paint scheme of the Phalanx.
