BSG MKII Viper

This is Ninjatoe's model I resized to 1/24 scale, but I put UHUO2's cockpit, landing gears and canons in it.I thought about doing this two years ago, but didn't have enough designing or working with MS Paint and Gimp to attempt it. My first problem was UHU02's version uses a single former running from nose to engines, where as Ninjatoe's has two. I used PDFill to take the images from the PDFs of both models, so I could use MSPaint to resize the parts and insert the cockpit part from UHU02 part 1 in to Ninjatoe's formers.Once I found the right size I made the rest of uhu02 parts the same size. Next was the parts that replaced Ninjatoes parts D AND E with UHU02s parts 4,3 and 129. These parts have a single line to cut a slot and how long to cut it. I used parts D and E to get the spacing for the double slots. Part 2 the floor has two in the front and two in the back. All other cockpit parts are cut and glued normally. The only other problem was the part the seat glues to with the tube on the back that glues to another part that sticks up. It makes the cockpit longer than the cockpit hole, but if you cut out for it on the part that the tail engine glues to, which is shape like an hour glass the part the canopy glues to will cover it with a little modification. The part the canopy glues to has a top, two sides, a bottom, and no front just glue tabs. Cut the bottom off to fit over the cockpit part that sticks up, and cut the glue tabs shorter so they don't get in the way of the windows. I cut them off and made a part to cover the front with enough sticking out to glue the canopy on.

Always loved the ability to mix-n-match (and rescale when necessary) of paper modeling.

Nice work, sir!

Thanks for the kind words. I took a couple more pictures. The last ones didn't do the model justice.

I forgot to say that I used an LED Flashlight shinning on it to show how it really looks.
