BSG - Canaris Shuttle

Hello All,
Just finished up the Studio Scale Canaris Shuttle from TOS BSG. This ship was seen in "The Man with Nine Lives" episode, with Fred Astaire. Though I came close to reproducing the original, there are a number of parts I either ID'd (with the help of some great friends!) or didn't have to put on. I wanted to use the excess parts in my stash and not go out and buy anything new. So, it's not "exact". The main body halves though are the original parts from two Tamiya Ford F-1 Model Kits, then there is the 1/32 F-4 and the Fujimi F-15, along with the Sat V. All usual suspects for BSG kits. I also accidently cut the engine area a bit short. I still have a touch of weathering to do in the chins, but all in all I think it came out pretty good. I love the colors, though they wash out on the show.
It was an incredibly fun little project and rag tag ship to build, it now joins the rest of the fleet!
Thanks,
Sean

Beautiful work as always! Again: Your dedication to the RTF, is second to none (that I know of).
 
Beautiful! Spot on replica.
The colour scheme does look good, wow. Where did you get the reference photos from? Are they public (in a larger size)?
What an amazing collection of RTF ships you have!
 
Greetings all!
Having seen Sean's build, and realizing that I had some/most of the primary kits, I decided it was time to build one too :)
Of course I quickly found that many of the smaller parts are a pain to track down. Thanks to some help, I've got most of this ID'd.
But there's a handful of parts that I could do with help on...
