Best valentines day pressie I've ever got View attachment 77917


The 35th anniversary edition of the original colonial viper

This has entered modelling folk law as the viper MK I as a marketing tool to sell it but it's not it's just a viper

On the kit it's a usual moebius kit very straight forward with lots of moulded detail and a low skill level

Decals give you versions to present , the miniature model from the show or the full size mock up from the show

I'll do the miniature version

I always liked the viper. I thought it was a really cool space-fighter design. A lot better and more practical looking than, say, an X-wing

You are so right mate I also think the original Cylon raider was better than a tie fighter
