                        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.

                        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 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.
