Superb work Steven, I really wanted one of these,but the guy selling them would not answer my emails, do you know if any more will become availiable?

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.
