My collection as of now.
Damn, I’ve always thought that the old Viper Mk II was the best designed space dog fighter of all time. I do like the newer Battlestars from the recent series but the Mk II Viper just works for me.
Better than an X-wing or any other Star Wars fighter and definitely better than the newer Viper Mk VII.
And these models look awesome.

WONDERFUL! I love it! I think your way of mixing the two kits is THE way to go. This is the perfect way to combine "the best of both worlds" (Moebius & Revellogram). Bravo!

I made 3 in the last three months. I was gonna stop at two, but then I did some homework, and realized that combining them (along with extensive modification) was the only way I was ever gonna be entirely satisfied. In this picture you can see the others turned out nice, but the mix of the two kits (in front) is clearly superiour.WONDERFUL! I love it! I think your way of mixing the two kits is THE way to go.

Hey Chris,
Excellent job! I am not sure how you ever got the idea to combine the two, but the bet sure paid off.
cheers,
Jason

Yeah, it worked out better than I could have hoped.
I have one more Revell nose fuselage that I'd used for testing paint & panel scribing that I was ready to toss (and all the other junk left over from my last three Viper builds) when I suddenly realized that getting another old Revell kit might not be that easy later, so I checked and yeah, they are in the $50 to $70 range right now... $50? Well heck, I can refurbish this one piece for that kind of money! And it's really the only part I can't fix on the Moebius kit... so here I go again!

First, the felgercarb work... I needed to cut & sand the clear insert parts to sink them deeper in to the cans... this piece will ultimately be removable for battery replacement.
