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:

Okay, seriously, amazing conversion! What did you use for the guns? The shape looks so familiar, but I can't quite place it. :bow: :bow: :bow:
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.
:cheers: most cool !!!!!
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

That is so much prettier....... :wub:
Cool colour ! Looks like a good base ! :cheers:
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.
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.
Can't wait to see more after your last great hand painted "eye and teeth" model :cheers:
Thanks Tcat :wub: Imagine something similar but the other color will be a really DARK green. :wacko:
And here we are :wacko:

Badass !!!! and now, everyone knows where I live ! *chuckle* :cheers:
Well they wouln't if you hadn't just wrote that :rolleyes: ;D
Thanks for the compliment. I am going to start on the other Vipers pretty quick so stay tuned :wacko:
Now you just need a section of your truck that is outfitted with a modeling bench !!!
Well it sort of is as I will build a model in a motel room ;D :wacko:
And we are done ( well I'll have to do a mirror base for her)

Groovy! Different paint job for the Viper, it's slightly annoying to find that BoG carries on well into the future!
I don't know what BoG means :huh: :banghead:
Boring old grey. The plague of modern jets & most Sci-Fi stuff tends to carry this on. I'm not suprised & very gladyou don't know what it means Ron!!! ;D
I've said it before and I'll say it again (and I don't care who snickers): marry me, Ron! :bow: :bow: :bow:
Cool 8)
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:
Baz , all right then but Laurie is going to be mad ;D
Thanks Nev :wub: :thumbsup:
I need to get out more often because I completely missed this one. Your eye for adding the right parts in the right places is a skill I throughly enjoy. Outstanding work! Bravo Zulu!!
Absolutely outstanding in every way, Toolslinger! I love the stripey paintjob, weathering and decals! Few can whiff to such an amazing level!!!
:thumbsup: :thumbsup:
Brian da Basher
:wub: :cheers: :wub:
Wow. I followed the buiild, and I STILL have no idea how you made that amazing Viper. simply amazing!! :cheers: :cheers: :bow: :bow: :bow:
Thanks all y'all. I really had a lot more fun building this than I would have doing a plain old oob Viper. Now I am in serious sci-fi mode. :wacko:
Next up Proto Viper :blink:
Love it!!! :o Great stripes!
Awesome redesign toolslinger, love the camo! :wub: You should post it on SSM if you haven't already!
Paul Harrison
Thanks ya'll :wub: Paul I been there an done that :thumbsup:
That has rendered me speechless. :bow:
And in proper Marines livery, too. :bow: :bow: :bow:
Thanks Nox. I plan on starting a similar bash based on a MK II :wacko:
Too cool for this whiffing fool :lol:
I am going to have to find myself some of these things, preferably in 72nd scale, and suitably mod them out to be SHADO interceptors.
Cheers,
Chris.
Thanks C :wub: I am going to get those Matra to you directly :thumbsup:
