discussion Buck Rogers Starfighter

[Adrian "Marvel" Reynolds]

Saturday nights used to be about the good old shows like Dukes of Hazzard, the A-Team and of course Buck Rogers in the 25th Century.

I snapped up this kit and the Draconian Fighter last year at a bargain price of £50 for both and left them on the shelf till a few weeks ago.

For a kit made in 1979 it went together well if a little basic, I added belts, a console, joystick, throttle and some rear lights with a scattering of fibre lights in the rear section and console.

I've adlibbed a few colours on the hull with prismatic blues, golds and reds.

Anyway I'll say it before anyone else does,,,,
bi de, bi de, bi de Hot dog Buck...............

Looks great.

Like you Saturday nights were Buck Rogers as a kid.

I loved the fact they reused the launch sequence footage in the original Battlestar Galactica to save money.
