Got the Viper Mk. VII kit as well as replacement photo etch for the cockpit and exterior.
The kit itself is, well... pretty much incredibly mediocre. Panel lines are far too wide / deep and it looks more like a toy than a model kit. Flash everywhere on the sprues, and the detail is extremely lacking. In total the kit is only about 40 parts. Fit is pretty poor as well, and some of the parts are slightly warped... pretty disappointing overall. The viper mk. II kit is even worse in terms of details. That said there's enough to make a good looking viper with the extra photo etch details. The worst part has to be the canopy though, it's just way too thick and doesn't fit very well on the model. The photo etch gives you parts to display the canopy open which I'll be doing. All that said, at least someone is making BSG kits, without Moebius we would probably have nothing.
The photo etch itself is great, it's from a company called "Greenstrawberry" that does photo etch upgrade sets for sci-fi kits, and it's all around excellent and has great instructions / fit.
