Viper MK7

Where do I sign up!?!

There's no sign-up yet. I'm waiting for it to start too.

Remember..after the master,.. there is still the casting to be done! I think there is a bit more time for us to breathe before it comes to ordering.... Thank Goodness for that! :P

Amen!

Wolvester, is the other Mk VII not 1/24?

Chris

Well, I know the " other " Mk.7 out there is supposed
to be 15 inches in length. According to the CGI ship sizes
posted by Lee S. the Mk. 7 dimensions are...

Viper Mk7
Width: 5.61m
Length: 9.8643m
Height: 2.9508m


So that would mean to get 1/24th it should be
a tad over 16 inches in length...

With BSG starting again (at least, in the US), I thought this needed a healthy bump. Any more progress pics that can be shared yet? Pretty please...?

Seriously, take all the time you need. This is going to rock when it's ready.

I'm also VERY interested in buying a kit (or two) when available.

*just for the record!*

great stuff !

Been a while anything new?

Also, Frank and Moe, would you guys consider also doing the new "Super Viper" that was shown in the previous episode? I call the MK VII seen in "Maelstrom" a Super Viper because differences between it and the previous MkVII CG model are like the differences between a Legacy F/A-18c Hornet and the F/A-18e Super Hornet.

If anyone hasn't seen it or didn't notice the Maelsrtom "Super Viper" had new/redisigned intakes....the intakes next to the canopy are now more angular and pronounced and they taper back along the engine housing in a more angular shape. There are now new intakes below the wings that appear to connect to the reshaped upper intakes. The wing LERX are now shaped much like the Super Hornets, they now have a nice curve and don't go as far forward. Lastly, the whole nose is completely reshaped, it's more like a MK II's now...wider and more angular and less pointy like the MK VII's usually have.

Here's what is being talked about.

Oh, that Viper is quite a bit different then the others.
I had to lighten up the photo to get a better idea of what he was talking about.

Thanks Cobywan, I keep bringing it up in forums but I never had a picture to back up what I was talking about. Thanks Again!

Chris

Here are a few more images. Thanks to Davehal9000 from Starshipmodeler.

Awesome looking build . Another must have kit .

Yes, the new design is VERY cool. Not really
a " re-design ", more like a good tweak of the exsisting
design.

Don't worry, I have NO doubt that the " newer " Mk. 7
will be kitted in the near future....


Oh, and if you think THAT " tweaked " design look's
sweet just keep your eye's peeled in the future Ep's for the new
ADVANCED RAIDER !

Tease.

Sweet model. Can't wait for a kit.

Looks like Galactica got a few Mk 7 vipers from the Pegasus after all...

Wolvster, I was wondering what you where alluding to about what you are working on after the blackbird! YOU...ROCK!!!!

Chris

I wasn't really trying to allude to anything...

Honest....

HOWEVER, I will be doing the newer ADVANCED RAIDER
after the Blackbird is done...

{{ And apologies to Moe, don't mean to hijack your
thread on your magnificent build ! }}

If a kit is ever available I am ON THIS.

sweeet

Not sure what the AR is, can you post image?

Jim

maybe he means the heavy raider?

BSG finale this SUNDAY, SUNDAY, SUNDAYYYYYYYYY peoples &#33;

Well, I hate to take us OFF TOPIC of Moe&#39;s baby again
but to answer a question.. The AR, or ADVANCE RAIDER
will be show VERY BRIEFLY in the finale of BSG... I&#39;m afraid
that for the " beauty shots " of it you will need to wait until
Season 4 premiers to see it in FULL GLORY....



{{ Which STINKS since it is VERY cool &#33;&#33;&#33;&#33; }}

Anywho, BACK TO YOU MOE.. Let&#39;s see some PIC&#39;S DUDE &#33;


Since it&#39;s REALLY obvious the " OTHER " Mk.7 in 1/24th out
there is no where NEAR as good as your&#39;s &#33;

{ Or SAFELY AVAILABLE TO BUY... LOL.... :P }

Been waiting for the FrankenMoe MKVII for a very long time. I am looking forward to it&#39;s release.

Are they doing the 1st season Mk7 or the 3rd season Mk7? 3rd Season is much improved, like that design a lot. 1st season is too George Jetson for me.
