Colonial Viper
I acutally have had this MOC built for quite awhile now. I finally got the
red 4x4 cylinder pieces to finish it off though. I tried to incorporate a
little bit of dark grey and black pieces to simulate a battle-worn weathered
look.

Looks great! The shape is nice and sleek, and the colors and printed parts work

I had acutally been thinking about this model soon after when Bram L.

panels were tough on mine, not so much to build, but to finally assemble them.
Getting the hinged triangle to fit together without breaking of parts in the
process was tricky, but once assembled, it was quite tough.
Have you been lurking for that long too? I look forward to more new stuff!

If/When I rebuild it to put in landing gear, I will probably change (...) (21 years ago, 26-Mar-04, to lugnet.space, FTX)
