That looks really good! I have always been impressed with Moebius models. They have great detail. I have a few BSG models from them and I really like them. One that I have is the BSG Raptor. I am thinking of using it to make the cockpit interior for Revell-Fan's Raptor.
This would make for a great guide for a paper model.

That's a surprisingly big model. You could take wet paper and make molds off of it. Make a paper one. Looks like it could almost fly, no flaperons, or rudders though, it would flounder. Really nice looking concept though, and impressive execution thereof. You did a great job capturing the models contents, and finished look. ;)

Thanks, guys. Did you read my problems with the kit? I'm not sure I will buy another Moebius model again anytime soon.

Where did you post your comments on the kit, it wasn't in the video (the best place to post comments....)? This model looks like a "toy" you assemble. When I see a model that says "15" and up, I don't expect much. The finished look is in the model. I expect that is who Moebius targets. I purchased a few of their models and decided not to buy anymore, as to make them look like miniatures, not toys, would be too much work. :)

It is right below the video on your YT page. You have to click on "show everything" to see it. I have copied and pasted it here, just in case:

My kit came with a defective windshield. A small debris was injected into the port side window. It is halfway in the plastic no possible way to fix it, so I email Moebius Models and a few weeks later I received a new windshield. Really nice to know the company stands behind their product and I can continue building. Hardly any detail in the VTOL so I button it up. The (hellfire?)missiles don't look all that great so I omit that. If the missiles come with the clear lens I would have put them on. Instructions call for Dark Gunmetal Gray and I went with Gunship Gray. I open guns ports on Gun Cover part #11. Makes sense to me to have gun ports for the guns, otherwise, you will have to jettison the gun cover everytime you want to shoot and that makes no sense to me. Everything else builds straight up as instructions except the landing gears that I always build last. When everything is done and I finally get to the landing gears, a horrible feeling set in. My kit has no front foot part #87! I check all the runners, plastic bags, box, check all the runners again, bags, box... again and again, and again at least ten times. I even watch my video... MINE KIT HAVE NO FRONT FOOT! WHERE IS PART #87? WHERE IS MY PART #87? %$&*! What do I do? Write to Moebius again? Screw it! I took the wheels from an old ACE 1/72 AML-60 kit and they work just fine. Actually, I like the wheels a lot better than the kit skis... foot. My dumb luck bought a kit with both missing and defective parts... maybe I should run out and buy a lottery ticket... Second horrible feeling set in... I FORGOT TO CLEAN MY FINGERPRINTS AND DUST OFF INSIDE THE WINDSHIELD BEFORE I GLUDE THE FUSELAGE!
