I downloaded the plans from J-Leslie a while back. His model is a basic build and a wonderful piece to modify. This model has drastic make-over and I hope that you enjoy the build.
I copied the instrumentation from a H-64 Blackhawk, It has that futuristic digital read outs. Constructed bulkheads for the cab and cabin. All of the inside is scratch built and built as I went. I do not have any templates for the build. |

I built that model. Mine was just a shell. Yours is fantastic. Have you considered making the parts available as a supplement to the kit. It really brings the model into a whole new level. I love anything BSG and your interpretation of the model is excellent!

I considered that a bit late in the build. I would have to do the model over again and make the parts more feasible. This model was like a beta build except that I did not make templates for the extra parts. I may still do it but I have a lot on my plate right now and I do one model at a time. I tried doing multiple threads and it gets confusing some times. |

Jeanma, Did You built this model? I think it was on the French paper model site. if you did, I copied the build thread and used it to help me build the shell for this Model.

I bunched the pics so I could make a fast Thread.
I made a bunch of little details from BSG Raptor pics/archives The Tail section was a little flimsy, So A base was made to make for better adhesion. Like on the radome, rounded or concaved the top of the tail section. Discarded the original engines and scratched built them. I used the width of a AA battery and cut strips to make the raised surface. Laminated small strips for the protrusions in the engines. I used downloaded pics of the engines and cut and pasted until I got the strips for the engine skin on the ribs as well as the indented engine. The hardest part that had me stumped, was that concave canopy. I used a blister pack and bent carefully until I got the desired effect. So this is another done thread. If you want the viper M-II done the BSG way and My way, let me know. There is a hangar build with the vipers |

May I make a suggestion?
If you do decide to do a supplemental kit, why not forward a copy to Jaybats, and mention it as a way to say thank you for all his work. Your work is awesome, and I'm sure he'd be pleased with it. K'Jev |
