Viper cockpit interior

Thanks for the reply Fatfather!

I was starting to think the same myself which is why I posted ... was hoping someone out there might have saved us all a lot of freeze framing!!

Hi Stephen Q

I wanted whichever Viper flies in the new Galactica series...not the Blackbird stealth but the one they use every mission.  Also do you happen to know the measurement of the wingspan?

Thet fly both a Mk II and a Mk VII. Here's pics of my 1/24th scale Mk VII:

I used screen caps of Starbuck in a Mk VII from I think the Scar episode. I can send you these if you'd like. The wingspan of my model is about 9" in 24th scale. I'm currently working on a 24th scale Blackbird kit from Howling Wolf. Pics as soon as I make some decent progress.

Hi StevenQ

Your pics are great! The weathering and panel lines are very effective.  I am planning to build my Viper to 1/48th scale so am calculating scale at that.  Have just watched the Scar episode myself and is Starbuck cracking up?  Where will it all end?

Thnks again for the interest and help...look foward to seeing the Blackbird build!

Here is a link to a demensional view of the BSG Viper pit.

Thanks. Are you building a 1/48th kit or scratching one?

HI Steven

Am aiming to have a go at scratchbuilding one.  The cost of kits means they are out of my reach.  So its plastic card, balsa and brass tubing for me!

This might be of some help then: http://www.geocities.com/adumas02/viper7.html

Let me know if I can help with close up shots of my 24th scale one.

Hi Steven

Now that was a really useful link!!  Have added it to the favourite bar and will return!

Will let you know if I need more info re your 1/24th scale model ( which must be monster!)

Am currently beginning drawing my own plans up ... watch this space!
