Title: Viper Mk I Refit
Post by: sotoolslinger on May 27, 2010, 12:19:10 PM
This is one of those projects that just suddenly grab you and demand to be built. I got inspired by the recent release of the Moebius Models Viper MK II. I immediately ordered one as I have had a Viper from the original BSG in the stash for years.
Well heck y'all know I can't build something OOB ;D :wacko: So as I try to figure out how to kitbash the MK II I figured I would practice on this :rolleyes:
I know from the new series that there is a MK II and a MK VII and I wondered what came between :blink: Now I have never actually seen an episode of the new series :banghead: But I figured if they had Battlestars and Vipers they must have the equivalent of Marines and Army Aviators :thumbsup:
So this is my version of the Viper MK III Marine/Army/Reserve.
The existing MK I Vipers that weren't put in museums were refitted to optimise them for ground based use and atmospheric launch as well as long range recon patrols by far flung forward bases in outlying colonies ;D :rolleyes: :wacko:

Those guns look vaguely Warhammer-ish. Whatever the source, it needs more of 'em!  :wacko: Or some rocket pods. Or both!  :wacko: :wacko:

The bubble-top canopy looks pretty good on there! :thumbsup:

Note that this is a tandem weapons installation. :wacko: The outboard gun is a magnetically accelerated 30 mm projectile gun. Generally the loadout consists of alternating metal ceramic matrix disintegrating rounds and armor piercing although high explosive and even crystal matrix subcaliber hellbore rounds have been issued.
The inboard cannon is an 80 mm rocket/missile launcher. :wacko: A multi purpose revolver cannon it can be loaded with a variety of smart projectiles at the pilots discretion. At close range the loads act like rockets and are magnetically accelerated. At longer ranges the smart missile option automatically activates and communicates with the onboard targeting computer to self guide.

Thanks Bubba :wub: I thought with the atmospheric scoops cut back and the big new guns there was too much empty space between the scoops and the wings

Keeping my build in mind, what did you graft onto the tail for the extention?

Did you fill the hole in the nose scoop?  If so, how?

If I can get mine done and you can make Nats, should be a fun display.
Title: Re: Viper Mk I Refit
Post by: sotoolslinger on June 09, 2010, 01:42:55 PM
Thanks G :wub:
Philip ,that tail is rather complex. It is either a Draken or Viggen base with a cut down vertical from a Flanker grafted on.
http://s253.photobucket.com/albums/hh50/sotoolslinger/MK3/
There is the whole photobucket for you.
I did not fill the hole in the nose scoop but I did remove the little tiddie that sticks up in the hole to round it out.

The camo matches the name. It looks poisonous, deadly. (https://www.whatifmodellers.com/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi107.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fm309%2FChernayaAkula%2FEmoticons%2Fdiablotin.gif&hash=d96f565b138c65d032bd45820abb8cf7475c9d30)

Thanks Mossie I like to learn. I also am annoyed by BoG .I am sure that the military has done comprehensive and thorough studies determining that gray is the perfect camoflage  :rolleyes: Which is funny cause I can see them fine when they fly over me :angry:
