| House Kurita still relies on the fast 20 ton "Wasp" for its recon lances. Created back in the days when the SLDF was still around, these venerable designs have received some updates to face the invading Clan forces. |

| Light-weight, fast and maneuverable - the miniature is based upon a converted 1/200 Macross Valkyrie plastic kit. |
 |
| An Intek Medium Pulse Laser in combination with an Irian Armorworks SRM-2 launcher doesn't deal a lot of damage, but that's not the job of a scout unit anyways... |

| The pose of the miniature is based upon the artwork of the unseen "Wasp" as depicted in TRO 3050/52. |

The original "Wasp" design was inspired by the Valkyrie suits of the Macross animated series. These had a large number of plastic kits produced in Japan, varying in scale and content. Based upon the 1/200 scale plastic kit, combined with arms of a Gashapon action figure (also from Macross) I created this N-scale "WSP-3M Wasp" and used a pose as it was seen in the first print of TR 3050.
The artwork of these early FASA products did catch my attention back in the day. Its how I see the CBT universe - full of what nowadays is called "unseen" Mechs. I could imagine my whole recon lance is going to contain nothing but those early Mech designs and sub-variants... ^^

I think I have a few of these kits somewhere in my stash. Were they two in a box with brown and white plastic? Nichimo or something?
I believe you are correct. The 2-in-1 boxes were Robotech releases of Nichimo 1/200 scale Macross models.
