Moebius Viper Mk.2

The lighting was a first for me. I learned a lot about doing it by watching Trekmodeler's videos on YouTube and also joining his forum. Once I figured out the specifics of the wiring and resistors, it wasn't that hard to wire and install. The cockpit is the Paragrafix set which is pretty much awesome. It's designed for lighting and works really well once you get all the holes and stuff set. I used a total of 5 LEDs and some fibers optic fibers to light cockpit and engines. I do have the Mk. 7 and I plan to do that one too, but now I HAVE to get the Paragrafix set for it because the Mk. 2 set was so great! Right now I'm trying to decide between lighting and building the Galactica, or lighting and building the Batmobile from the Michael Keaton movie... Decisions, Decisions.

Awesome build!  Great stuff.  Galactica...Batmobile....Galactica....Batmobile?  Either one you do, please post pics of your progress.  You've got the lighting then going!

xwingfan, wow, great job!  The weathering is awesome!  How hard was it to do the lighting?  Man, that really makes it stand out!  I have this kit too, and I just bought the Mk VII last night!  Have you done or do you plan on doing the Mk VII?  I'd like to see that one too!  Great job!  Thanks for sharing!

Nice looking build. I loved the original kits by Monogram. They handled dogfights much better than my X-Wings!!

I like the lights especially.
