I am a STAR WARS fan, but Also love BATTLESTAR GALACTICA!. awesome colonial Viper!!.

It looks amazing!!! WOW!!! Makes me want to make my own display case for our viper. Yeah, that is so beautiful!!

This Viper has alot of amazing details and features on it and that display box looks cool and it displays nicely inside the display case.👍💯

The Monogram model kit is exceptionally accurate, especially for 1978 when the star wars and star trek models were close but no banana. Comparing the Moebius and Monogram parts side by side and built, they are near identical. Were it physically possible to do, the built Moebius kit is a near-perfect-fitting skin over the Monogram built kit and the one could just fit in the other. And of course, Moebius went under and has been owned by Pegasus Models for the last several years.

Man, what a gorgeous piece! Great size and detailing!

I've got the kit in storage and the display piece out. I'll have to compare the two! The pre-built model is something else for sure! Great video as always.

Omg!! That is so beautiful

Yeah, that’s a thing of beauty sir, thanks for sharing.

The complete package is a masterpiece! Nice job ❤😂 grail!🏆

I still have that aforementioned Monogram Viper, which I bought & put together in 1979. It has since been displayed on a shelf at home, gathering dust for 45 years, heh. Unfortunately I never got the Raider, Galactica or Basestar kits of that period. Just too much money for me as an early teen back then. However, I did get the Buck Rogers Starfighter, also bought & kitted at that same period, also gathering dust on the same shelf since. I even also kept their packaging boxes & instructions papers. Was there also a BSG shuttlecraft kit? I dont remember. 07/21/24

When my Revell model was broken beyond repair in a move, I got this one... I agree; it's amazing!

Damn that is one beautiful model

Thats i great model. I have their reimagined series kits and those are also excellent. This one is part of the series of models they released as prebuilt display pieces. This also included the galactica which i also have as the model tk be built. The only down side to the prebuilt model is the visible seam lines in the body that i would have renoved had i built it myself. Other than that, it's a great piece

I actually have this kit in the box and just looking at your video of the pre-built kit the weathering it looks like crap especially the four airbrushed spots towards the front and then they didn't even bother sealing up the seam down the middle on the top where the red stripe is. Glad I didn't spend the extra money on this.

Apart from the Falcon and X wing the Viper still stirs something inside me

I'm building this viper, it looks like the same kit even the seam lines. The stand is the same and yes it comes with landing gear but the cylon raider is even better.

The model kit came with landing gear. You could build it with landing gear or in flight mode

Awsome

Rick,never angry love the work,viper sweet. Looking for a Cylone drone,know of any? Biddy,biddy..

WOW that is beautiful!! I want one

I would like to say hi and I just subbed , I have a question : Is there a Cylon Centurion model kit? Not the new Cylon , but the original Centurion, need 2 of them , one to be silver and chrome and one to be gold and bronze

Good looker.🎉

I have the mobuis classic cylon raider pre finished. It’s huge. I also have the mobuis classic Galatica and the new series version. Both pre finished. I wish I had gotten the new series pre finished Pegasus.

While I think the weathering on the nose could be a little better, I love the Viper pilot in the cockpit! I think Eaglemoss took the easy way out with the inaccurate darkened windows.

I built a viper model when i was a kid in the 70's

Someone correct me if I'm wrong but, weren't the Viper markings in the show more orange than red? And I remember for a fact that the old Revell model kit from 1979 definitely had orange decals.

It is a great piece but the very rare Icons Viper which I was lucky enough to buy 24 years ago is the pinnacle of Viper models.

Pretty cool 😎

Eaglemoss is my favorite both vipers MKI, AND MKII..the let down is there is no Viper Pilot in the Eaglemoss/Master Replicas.

The Mk 1 viper is my favorite space fighter, 2nd is the TIE fighter.

Needs an led mod in helmet and thusters and on the launch tunnel

I built a bsg viper model rocket myself (not a kit) & it looks & flys great! It just launches vertically instead of horizontally. 🤣

I can't speak to the Viper, but I have the Mobius 2005 Galactica as well as the Eaglemoss version, and the Mobius model is cleaner and more detailed (the flight pods especially). Of course, the Eaglemoss Viper has a smoked windscreen and no pilot, just the chair inside.

Where can I find one if that will cost me in an arm in leg? I’ve been looking for one for quite a while.

Eaglemoss version appears to be weathered exactly the same

That Is Way Kool *

Have you seen the guy that created a life sized Viper in his garage?

Absolutely beautiful! Okay, i know i'm in the minority here, but it'd be so cool if it had a lower hatch which would pop out a two-wheeled Turbine! 🏍️😅

It would be great to see Moebius re-release these, there's very little on the market nowadays.

is this better than the one you featured 3 months ago?

I want one! 😍🥰

They also have no serial number on the tail fan and there is no name for the call sign

Where can we buy this model ?

I want one

I hope nobody doesn't choke on it this time.

Yes, the kit is identical to the finished model you show, sans assembly and paint of course. However, the KIT did come with optional landing gear and the rear exhausts are molded in clear so you can light up the engines if you want. A skilled model builder can do a much better job with the kit than the finished model, as a good builder will fill in the seams and gaps. The "spotty" weathering on the nose isn't all that good either. Moebius uses those clear stands, reminiscent of the ancient Aurora style, on all their kits whereas Round 2 uses a far more sturdy solid metal post and dome base with their Star Trek, Star Wars, and Space:1999 kits. It's too bad one cannot post pictures here, as I could show you. Can't even post links, so there's no way to demonstrate any of what I'm saying. Do you have a Fascistbook page that we can share stuff on?

Perhaps take a look at the Fan Arts model. Looks superior.

Is there any links of where to get one from

Weathered the whole Viper but not the cannons?

How much do these cost?

I have the Eaglemoss MKII & MKIII (Blood & Chrome) Vipers. They are heavy, very well detailed and worth having your collection, especially the MK-III as Moebius did not produce one, that said, the MOEBIUS model kits in my opinion are the Gold standard for all things BGS currently, both the Vipers & Raptor (which I also have) are superior in their detail/panel lining, your option of landing gear down or up, resin pilots for the Vipers and detailed plastic pilots on the raptors, the decals are good quality as well. The only downside to Moebius now is the ridiculous prices the kits are going for now, especially the Pegasus.

anyone else prefer Battlestar Galactica over star trek ?

Shame about that ugly seem running down the center of the nose, Modelers like me putty and sand that down nice and smooth to where it's not visible. That's why I'd rather build the model myself rather than purchase these pre-assembled things.

Looks cheap
