Oops, sorry - should be: "partial VINTAGE STYLE launch rail" :mrgreen: !

The complete one is from the new BSG, this one will feature the 1978 version.
 
Thank you! :wave:

Here a sneak peak at the things to come... The two of them are still missing a texture, but you'll get the idea..! :thumb:

Actually, I have already done such. See:

This is my mothers fighter.

This is the diagram that I used as a guide to recolour it.

Really? I didn't know that. Do you have a picure or a name of the vessel?

A little update, this time concerning the Mk. IV. I have made the canopy a bt rounder and the collar around the intakes got its wavy line.

That's your MOM's fighter?

When I was a kid, my mother and I would watch both BSG and BRTC25 together. She also gave me a tremendous amount of encouragement when I first started paper modeling. At times, she would help me with some of my builds. So as a memorial to her, I built this fighter. I just wish she were still alive to have seen it. I know that she would have cherished it GREATLY.
 
Mk. IV update

Hello folks!

A little update on the Mk. IV: The general shape is set and ready for texturing. I'll have to cut out a hole for the cockpit and make the interior.

CU - with a textured Mk. I fin! :wave:

forgive my ignorince of the full subject , but is the mk iv cannon or your own design?

great work so far!
 
Thank you! :wave:

The Mk. IV is canon but there is a very sad story about her: She was supposed to become the star of a new BSG continuation series by Tom DeSanto & Brian Singer in 2001. The project was in full swing when suddenly Singer left to direct "X-Men". Production continued even though, sets and two Viper mock-ups were built, masks and costumes were made. What happened then is a bit foggy, but it is said that 9/11 had some impact on the decision to freeze the endeavour. In the end everything was shelved and all sets - including the Vipers - were tossed into a landfill. :cry:

Here you can see the original Mk. IVs:

Great job Revell-Fan , that mkIV is shaping up nicely. Can' t wait to see the textured mkI. Keep up the fantastic job. May the Lords of Kobol be with you, so say we all. Cheers.
