Didn't realize these were so big! Very cool ship! And thank you, TrekCollector for sharing. Thanks to you I've just started up a subscription. Seems like Eaglemoss got it right with this line.
WOOOOOW ! FACINATING YES IN DID I DO REALLY LOVE THIS BEAUTIFUL INTERCEPTOR COLONIAL VIPER MARK 2 STARWARSHIP TURBOJET FIGHTER BY I ALSO LOVE THE ORIGINAL COLONIAL VIPER MARK 1 FROM THE ORIGINAL TV SERIES
I find this Viper so beautiful, that I really want to buy it though I'm not even a Fan of the Series because I've never seen it before... I should change that ^^
I can understand that they are pricey but in fairness they are miles ahead of the XL ST Ships. Maybe keep an eye on the Eaglemoss website and wait for a sale
Great video, awesome ship. I hope Eaglemoss does ALL Battlestar Galactica ships, not just from the show but also from the games. My favorite BSG ship would be The Manticore class.
I was lucky enough to get one of the Husker models, #171 of 250. I didn't know they were doing variants so it was an incredible surprise to open the box and see a COA sitting there. The model is beautiful, with amazing detail, much better than the Art Asylum collectible Viper in my estimation. Great review mate.
I’ve been a sci-fi fan my entire life, a *huge* fan of the Battlestar Galactica reboot since it premiered in 2003, and just recently made the purchase of the Eaglemoss models. I managed to get fantastic deals on the Vipers Mk II & VII, Cylon Raider, and the reboot Galactica (the latter a _crazy_ steal for NIB), and am hoping for releases of the Raptor, Blackbird, Pegasus, Valkyrie, and Baseship/star in the near future. The size and detailing are very good for the pricepoints and pre-made status (I’m not a modeler, so I’m locked into prebuilt items) and will serve as the basis of a small display of my favorite sci-fi designs: the reboot Battlestar Galactica ships, ST:TMP-era Refit Enterprise, Reliant, Defiant & 1701-E, Snowspeeder, Falcon, T-65 & T-70 X-Wings, TARDIS and some random others... I’m by no means a “collector”, or at least a completist, so it’s “quality vs quantity” in my book!
This Collection really has been a joy, every model seems to get better. I have always loved the viper from an early age. Eaglemoss have done a brilliant job in these, perfect size with amazing detail. Thanks for watching the review
Thetrekcollector same here love the viper since I was a kid eaglemoss really are pushing the quality up I have the model kits but to have die cast is a must
You should really give it a go, I was like What Starbuck is female but Katee Sackhoff did an amazing job playing Starbuck. Don't forget Boomer also changed from male to female and I think they did the right call doing this instead of just adding new female characters
@ The Russian Nightmare , cool name by the way. I agree with you on when they made Starbuck a female, you could not bring yourself to watch it. Me too. I have that one too, and I made a video of it on my channel. I am more of a classic Battlestar Galactica fan, then the remade one.
Subscribed to Eaglemoss for the wonderful introductory price of $19.95 USD (an unbelievable value) for the Viper Mk II (got Starbuck's, oh well). Received the Cylon Raider and was equally amazed.
Meh, it's got poor assembly, beginner level weathering and a poor paint job. Look at the cockpit gap, the missing paint on the side detail that was not painted. Yeah it good, but on a scale of one to ten, this is a 5.

Delighted mate, I have to say this is a very good collection 2 for 2 both excellent models, really looking forward to Galactica next
Look what you did! Now i'm spending cash again .Just ordered mine. Thanks for the review.
Glad the review help you make up your mind. Hope you enjoy your Viper

THANK YOU VERY MUCH BUDDY BOY SALUTES FROM TIJUANA BAJA CALIFORNIA NORTE MÉXICO TENOCHTITLAN !

Great looking ship for the price! I just ordered one.
As Ronald Weasley would say ''That Looks Bloody Brilliant.''
Well Done Sir.Very informative.And you Answered all my questions. Thank you Rick.
These look fantastic, and I'm a big BSG fan, but I can't justify the cost for these. I didn't get the ST XL ships either. 😔

I'm over the moon to see you got one of the Husker ones ! Thanks for posting the pictures of it
Darned cool! If I was not so stretched, I would add these. choosing selectively, of course.

That IS the Eaglemoss Viper MkII, Hero Collector must be a US division. If you check the Eaglemoss US web site, it's the exact same model.
Eaglemoss is Hero Collector same company. Thanks for watching the video Paul
Beautiful !! 👽💚
Great review. I was lucky enough to get a Husker variant, #18/250. Pretty cool!
Nice one man. I hope someday I will be able to find one at a fair price
Do you think Katee Sackhoff would sign one of these? It looks like there is enough room on one of those wings for an autograph.
I don't recall the Mk II canopies being tinted.
I hope we get a mark 7 too.
Razorgeist So do I but on the first ship of this collection if they keep this standard up I will happily spend my money on every ship
I've just found out about eaglemoss collection... Like a kid in a candy store.
I would much rather build my own !, you have more pride in what you accomplished !, plus i have full interior !
great design to begin with, and just from whats shown, seems to leaps and bounds better than standard eaglemoss quality control!
That Looks deadly
I ordered all four vipers MkI, MkII, MkIII and MkVII.
Yo TrekCollector buddy yes I loved the new Battlestar Galactica I was thinking only getting the Battlestar and Viper that all and a Raider
You think they make these in a different factory than their Trek XL? Because the trek are consistently misaligned and these seem a higher calibre.
Are Eaglemoss and Hero collector the same firm?
Yes
Will they do new sized folders for the magazines?
very nice model i must get one 😊😊
Does the canopy raise to reveal a cockpit Chris.
No the Canopy doesn't raise
Just ordered the mk 1 ,2 3 on stand by
This Collection really has been a joy, every model seems to get better. I have always loved the viper from an early age. Eaglemoss have done a brilliant job in these, perfect size with amazing detail. Thanks for watching the review

i want the viper and the battlestar galactica!!!
It they bring out all the battle stars including unseen ones I'm In
Hi do you know the scale ???
Does the canopy open?
Sadly no, that would have been a really nice touch
Once they made Starbuck a female, I couldn't bring myself to watch it.

too bad they didn't have retractable landing gear
