Well said! We owe you a great debt of gratitude, along with Ralph McQuarrie and John Dykstra!PERFECT!
Thank you very much!
However, we should not forget the great Andy Probert, "father" of the Cylons, Dennis Muren, Richard Edlund, Steve Gawley, Joe Johnston, Ken Larson, Lorne Peterson and the rest of the model crew who all gave us the originals. thumbsup
Great clean build. As I recall the nose of the MK2 Viper, which I did not succeed the first time. And this one looks just great.
SO, It is time for a longer update. This time I worked on the winds and tail.
Here are the parts for the wings and tail.
Starting with the guns.
The guns are done. I greebled the textures.
Here are the parts for the main wing. The extra parts on the side are to replace the wing mounts so that I can greeble them.
The "new" wing mounts (and greebles) are in place.
The wing panels (and greebles) are in place.
The gun is attached.
Both wings are finished.
Here are the parts for the tale and the extra parts to replace the tail mounts.
The "new" tail mounts (and greebles) are in place.
The tail panels (and greebles) are in place.
Now on to the engines.
Please stay tuned to your local Colonial Broadcast Network for further updates as they come in.

Thank you all for the kind works and encouragement.
I would not say that I am a master. I still have a great deal to learn.

However, you are more patient than I am. I skip adding plates and super-detailing whenever possible because my thoughts are already with the next build. Time is money. 
Nevertheless, there are two models on my list which will require extensive super-detailing, and these attempts will greatly pay off due to the size of the things. And yes, one of them is the large Viper.

I am planning to do something a little special with the 1:32 scale Viper (when I build it for the Pancreatic Cancer Awareness diorama).However, you are more patient than I am.

Fingers crossed!However, you are more patient than I am. I skip adding plates and super-detailing whenever possible because my thoughts are already with the next build. Time is money.

Words of a true master!
The Pancreatic Cancer Awareness diorama sounds like a great idea!
I am just in awe of both of you, Rhaven, and Revell. This viper is gonna blow them all away.
Thank you sir! It is a fun build! I fully recommend this model to anyone who loves BSG!!!
