An Excellent Model by Patrick Riley from Midvale, UT USA on Apr 23, 2010 |
| This Viper was one I'd looked forward to from the moment it was announced. The preview pics shown on the web didn't do it justice. It is a superbly engineered model that will almost snap together. Seams are minimal. Detail is excellent. Well worth the price. | |

Excellent Kit by William Barton from Kenosha, WI on Apr 3, 2010 |
| I've been waiting for a vacuform kit of the Viper Mark II for some time now, and Moebius and his crew hit this right on the bullseye. The kit is highly detailed, and the molding and mechanics of the parts was obviously thought out. The pieces are designed so well, the kit holds together well without any glue or tape. Seams are practically invisible. I also ordered the Photo Etch kit for Paul at ParaGraphix, and it makes an awesome addition to an already top notch kit. With all the resin kits of Galactica based subjects out there, it is good to see Moebius and his crew produce not only a beautiful kit, but one that was affordable. Can't wait to see the Galctica and the rest of this years offerings. Great Job Moebius!!! | |

Viper MK2 In box Review. by Trevor Bennett from Detroit Michigan on Mar 31, 2010 |
| Hey all. I just got my Viper MK2 and was so Happy when I cracked the box I just had to share. ( this is my first review so please be kind in your comments :)) The Box itself is really neat. Excellent graphics and a Nice Hanger scene printed on the back, but seems to be in Photo reverse ( signs are all backwards??). Cover will definitely grab you and even hints at a Galactica, Cylon Centurion and the Grail of BSG modeling, a Viper MK7.( I can't wait!). The Instructions are a Marvel in themselves. Printed in full color with CG stills of the "Real" Aircraft, along with Drawn references and Photos of the assembly steps. Decals are in Register, Printed tightly to the carrier film ( i.e. No extra film at the edges) and give you options for Decaling the stripes or Painting them in the form of separate Colonial Roundels, but sadly only to AC options,both from the Galactica. I was kinda hoping for a William "Husker" Adama plaque for under the Canopy rail and or some other squadrons and Ships but I'm sure some aftermarket company will fix this. Now to the Kit itself. There are 3 poly bags containing the parts .Everything is cast Crisply and cleanly ( with a little flash as to be expected from short run kits) in White Plastic. Overall nice casting but I have to wonder why the reaction thrusters in the nose and underside are decals and not cast details? These will be drilled out and corrected in my kit but would make for a nicer "out of Box" kit of they were cast in. The Canopy and Stand are cast in Crystal clear styrene ( though I have to wonder why detailing on the stand base shows North and South America, Hawaii and Australia?). Included is a Resin pilot Figure. This is a Crisply cast Male pilot with helmet ( the visor is solid but a little surgery could fix that.). All in all I am Looking forward to building this, but might hold off painting to see if Decal options open up in the near future. Enjoy ( i know I will). | |
