Moebius Battlestar Galactica Raptor 1:32 Scale Model Kit

[Galactican]

I know. Nevertheless, I am very excited and I'm looking forward to the new kits.

So if no Cylon stuff, then what else is there to release beyond the Raptor?

 

[Galactican]

... the Berzerk Battlestar - or a shuttle?

 

[gene1138]

Berzerker might be cool but would think a basestar from either series would be more recognizable. Anywho... Looking forward to the raptor when it comes out.

 

[Galactican]

I'm sure the Raptor will be a huge hit because you can do so much with it.

Early 2016 :wacko
Is that the release date or when they will start thinking about it again??
Pre-Order" not sure what this term means anymore.

For some reason it looks a little bare to me, not sure why.
Maybe soft on detail I have no idea it just lacks something

I just got my kit from Culttvman. Surprised no one has mentioned the kit is finally available.

Looks nice so far. I've only had time to look at the instructions. Cannot wait to build it and display it next to my other Moebius Vipers.

Any thoughts on the base color???

There a couple of significant deficiencies with the kit. I believe that the released kit is pretty much the test kit without any changes. There are no grilles for the outboard structure on the tail booms and for the scoop near the front of the 'wing'.



The pilots are undersized and lack the detail available on the Viper pilot figures.



There have also been issues with the canopy fit.

The third picture looks a bit ropey.
Maybe I need help.....

Not sure if that is a request or not, what did you need help with?

The detail in general looks pretty soft.
