That's really cool, Woody. So how many do you have in your attic now? :)

Cool looking Viper. Wonder if they're going to release the newer Raptor from the Sci-Fi series.

They had Raptors, Viper Mk2, and the viper Mk7, in the the new series. In the first half of the pilot I thought they referred to the new grey Vipers as Raptors. later on theyreferred to them as Mk7 vipers and the raptors were the two man recon planes. Man i hate what they did to Starbuck and Boomer! What the h@ll is up with THAT? Alot of the big destruction that we wanted to see took place off camera. Like the destruction of the other battle stars like Atlantia. Even if it was just a "turkey shoot" I would still like to have seen it.

Last year I saw a larger scale Viper on a launch rail as an entry at Wonderfest. I look for a picture it was a great kit...

MartianGundamModeler, I know what you mean about Starbuck and Boomer; and then to imply at the end that Boomer is a Cylon "sleeper agent"?!! Anyway, it was still a pretty good start.

The posts mention the early Viper (Mk. 2?) in the pilot. Is it me or did the "old" Vipers look different than the "originals"?

OOPS! Update to my previous entry. The Mk. II Viper looks different than the "originals" because it is different. Apparently the Vipers of the original series were Mk. I Vipers. I found the following link in another post, in case anyone wants to check it out.
