I built this original-issue (1/32 scale) Monogram Colonial Viper with my dad as a kid. As a tribute to my modeling time with him, I chose to refurbish it instead of getting a reissue. I stripped it down, added a Millennium Models aftermarket cockpit, and scratchbuilt landing gear before detailing and weathering it. Thanks for teaching me modeling, Dad!”
