Viper Mk VII

Modeling Subjects Science Fiction
1

Picked this kit up on squadron models last day and built it up over the weekend. This was the 1/72 offering that comes with two vipers.

The kit was a quick build with less than 20 parts and the fit was good with no filler required. My biggest complaint was the pilot was so small it needed a booster seat to see out. The overall color may be a little dark but I am happy with it

Very nice build, how big is it? I prefer their (reboot) earlier Vipers that look more like the 1978 Viper with the red/white motif.

Agreed, but it’s hard to top that 70s style of scifi modelling.

That being said nice build! Well done

Cheers,

Josh

Thanks Rob, this kit is a little over 5" long.

Thanks Josh, I prefer the classic design as well

Yes, nothing beats the original Viper. It’s good that they issued these in a standard scale, much like Bandai and Fine Molds did with their Star Wars kits.

Beautiful! I’ve had the 1/48 version on the table for a while. I think maybe now is the time to finish it. Whether one prefers the originals, reboots, Mk I, II, or VII, the Viper is one heck of a ship.

That’s cool. [Y]

I’m currently caught up watching V2 of the show, so your model is fun timing. You have me looking at the Moebius Viper VII. Thanks, I think. [:P]

BTW, like your starry background. Simple yet effective.
