Hi guys,
it occurred to me that if one wants some feedback for a project, it might pay not to be too specific with the thread subject.
This model has been the subject of another thread labelled "Mk.2 Colonial Viper cockpit" if you want to check out some of the earlier "get to this point" work.
Anyway, here are the pics, and I would genuinely like some tactile feedback, even if your not a BSG lover.
There's an awful lot of PE in this kit (Paragrafix - gorgeous), from engine wiring to Avionics bay dressing, to engine bell inserts. At the rear of the viper I scratched the modules necessary to run the wiring harnesses from - the Revell and Moebius kits both have the most atrocious rendering of this section ever, so I fixed it.
The Avionics bay vanes have also been modified to more accurately represent the studio version and not the bu*****t offering from the manufacturer.
All of the RCS thruster ports were drilled out as opposed to using the decals provided. Base was custom built using an Academy 1/48 HEXA stand, some scratched Colonial Viper insignia's and some nifty standoff posts with some perspex cut and polished to shape (using the full colour decals provided by Revell).
The work in this forum is, at times unreal. I am glad to contribute a small part towards that.
Peace out, Hster.
