Thank you sir! This is a fun and enjoyable project!Damn, that colour is PERFECT!!! You are doing a phenomenal job on this project!
Battlestar Galactica/Buck Rogers Hover Vehicle
- Thread starter Rhaven Blaack
- Start date
Please keep in mind that the colour is not precise because there are no views of the vehicle in neutral light. It was quite tricky to figure out what it was. In several shots it appears as if the vehicle was two-toned but Rhaven convinced me that it was in fact one colour. We are very certain that the colour was very close to the colour of the Paradeen version (brown / dark copper) but it appeared to be a tad lighter. The first test-prints came out orange which did not look right at all, especially when you look at the contrast between it and the gold of the EDD logo. This final one is what we think matches the original the most.
I have to say that it does look spot (then again I have to admit that I am being bias).This final one is what we think matches the original the most.

That is looking fracking good I like the colors a lot of this model. Again great work from the both of you.
*UPDATE* During the development of the template for the Earth Directorate Hover Vehicle, @Revell-Fan had used the same logo that was used for the Thunder Fighter (more as a placement logo whilst working on the rest of the template). However, in final production (and during my beta test build), neither of us caught the fact that the logo was indeed the wrong colour. As both of us were reviewing other things about the Hover vehicle, we had both spotted the mistake and @Revell-Fan fixed the template and sent me a set of "decals" to fix the model that I just finished.
Here is the Hover Vehicle with the correct logo:

Here is the "WHITE" version of the Hover Vehicle. This version was featured in Buck Rogers, season one episode 09 "UNCHAINED WOMAN" (as a "background" piece. Here are two screenshots that shows the vehicle.
The good thing about this model being all white, is that the builder can (if he/she wishes to do so) paint it in whatever livery they wish.
This is a closeup of the vehicle.
Starting with the parts page containing the body.
I assembled the main body and attached the main storage area and the "hidden" trunk.
