                        I'm finally making progress on my Mk VII and thought I'd share some pics.
                        First two are of engines, one showing added detail, second one with base coat:

                        Thanks Darren. Rob only got the first batch of these out(thankfully mine was one of them). He's had issues so production seems to have slowed way down. Check here:http://www.scifimodels.com/. Also see Stipp's thread abour issues with his F302. The Viper is a sweet kit, but you may have to wait for it. There are 1/72 and 1/48 scale kits coming soon, probably from Starship Modeler.

                        Thanks Bud.

                         I attached the engines today: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v72/ussarcadia/MKVIIengineson.jpg

                        I'll weather them tomorrow. Just have to finish the canopy and a few things in the cockpit.

                        Thanks Paul. Thanks Griff. I just bought a Jesse Myers TOS studio scale Viper for my next project. I'm thinking of parking it on a launch pad in a hanger bay. I'll start a new thread for that.
