Colonial Viper Mk.II - RJAF Prototype, Moebius Models 1/32

[tigrazor]

Yep, me again

This model was built for a German SciFi Forum GB thats still running. Rules? Only two: Take a Viper [MkI, II or VII, doesnt matter] and paint it NON-BSG-like. Thats it.

Im very much into Japanese things, especially culture and history, and therefore it became a Japanese prototype. As always, mymodel got a Little surrounding with repainted ICM and Bronco figures, a MasterBox Shepherd and so on - enjoy!

Oops, sorry for the late answer. Many thanks again for yer comments. In January this year it even made it in the press together with some other models of our club mates:

Sometimes it happens that a project that I called "complete" when its done is not completed, because...

>Im unhappy with detailing/painting
>I find a spare part in my stash that fits in the scene/the model itself
>Im just in the mood to rework it
>someone gave me a hint that makes me going "YEAH!!! AWESOME!" or something like that.


In the case of the RJAF Viper Mk. II it was reason No. 2. I found a fuel hose in Fujimis Pit Stop Crew set. I own it because of its 1/20 scale - those figures are a good base to rework for Maschinenkrieger figures. The hose was too thick, so only the clip was used, the hose itself consists of round profile and lead wire.

Additionally, I took some new detail shots of the Viper itself.

Enjoy!
