Starbuck was right handed, Apollo was left handed.

I saw the conversion cockpit for a family model, or tub as many of the pilots I knew would call a twin seater. 

The only time they ever showed a tub was on Galactica 1980.  To do one of these you have to make changes to the engine area, especially the exhaust system.

Very nice build. You have a good builder there.

Here's my Viper built by Stan Pienkowski.

Its not a complicated paint job for a figure like that. I'm sure the person building the kit for you can do it, its just pretty much brown after all!

Starship Models got back to me - the only ones they have are the unpainted ones.  But, didn't I see pre-assembled/pre-painted versions?

That's awesome Phil, dunno why I didn't think of looking at Starship Modeler .

No idea if Dirk was left or right handed. Guess it's a good excuse to watch more Galactica or the A-Team for 'research'...

Are you sure?

Looking at pictures right handed Phil

 

OK, ... Next question; was Starbuck left or right handed?

Hey Tim, sorry. I bought the figure probably 5-10 years ago so I wasn't sure if it were CultTVMan or not. I was going to look for it today but ended up busy, I'll see if I can find it tomorrow.

Randy, thanks, I wouldn't mind having a second figure if I can figure out who made them and if they're still around.

Hi-

I might have an answer for you- I bought an aftermarket resin female Viper pilot figure for my Revell TOS Viper years ago. Try MMI, (Millennia Models International) a Canadian outfit.

Try this web address: (don't know if it's still in business)

Hope this proves helpful.

Hey Gamera,

Got this from CultTVMan today:

"Ticket status: New

Subject: 1:32 resin BSG TOS Viper pilot figure, male, seated, pre-painted, pre-made

Hi Tim

I don't know where to locate figures like you describe.  Sorry!

CultTVman's Hobbyshop"

Cult TV Man?  OK

Hey Tim, yeah I remember the figures. I think Cult TV Man sold them but they're not listed on his site now. I picked up the seated female pilot to paint up as Lt. Sheba. I'll look around this weekend to try to find the company name from the box. I think I may have stuck it inside one of the Viper boxes, if not I dunno where it got to...
