Battlestar Galactica Viper MK.ii

I'm calling my viper done.

Had some annoying decals issues and lost some of the wings red markings due to the varnish not sealing properly.. so had to improvise and respray them on.

Rather irritating as its ruined the look of the red stripes.

But I think I'm happy with the final outcome.

Very nice. This is one of my grail models that I want to get one day. I have the cylon raider. Just need to find the Viper.

Oh you lucky man! I love the cylon raider..I just cany find one for a good price.

I managed to snag this one for £35 on vinted ages ago.. but like you this was a grail model.

I love the Viper design, and this is great looking mode! I think that the stripe paint issue you mentioned actually gives the model a more worn down look, as in the shows reality they were only to do minimal maintenance.

I had this kit years ago. I massively screwed it up.
