Colonial Viper Mk. II Revell/Moebius 1:32

[cookiemonster]

Hello guys,

another kit of mine that I allready finished almost a year ago.

Build straight out of box, the Moebius kit is a realy joy to build.

Perfectly engineered and with a good fit, this kit knows how to impress.

But putty is needed, because it has some nasty sink marks.

While the build itself was a vacation from my belowed KP and old Airfix kits, the paint job was not.

It is easy, just paint it offwhite and apply decals to it.

Well, I had a lot of problems.

I used vallejo paints for this, and it would not stick to the kit.

the slightest pressure would damage the paint, I could note ven touch it without damaging the paint.

I removed the paint 3 times, and it would still not stick, well it sticked at the rear, but at the bow, it would just rip off.

I removed the paint on The bow oncemore and applied primer to it. Then I applied some layers of white and it sticked to the kit.

It even took a flight to my dustbin because of that, but I started to feel bad after some hours and took it out of there.

Some battledamage had to be fixed, a broken wing, thank goodnes there is super glue.

The decals were nothing special, they would not stick tot he kit, and they were very strict, they just did not want to bend over round areas or sink in engravings.

After this expirience, I can only recomend you Revell decal soft.

This Viper is the one flown by Lee Adama, Admiral Adamas son.

Hope you like it.

Cheers,

cookie

Very nice. I really must get one of these, they look brilliant. Would to be weathered though, I liked them all dinged up in the later series.

Well, I'm don't really know how to weather vehicles and stuff. So I left it this way.

Have three of these in the stash to make and just ordered a lighting kit for one to test out.

The new MK I is awesome, a kit that is a must have.

You done and extremely tidy job here, great matt finish and the decals worked well in the end.

Great model!

But I would make a bit of weathering here and this model needs a good photo session ))
