Description
From Eaglemoss' product page:
- This Viper Mark I[1] is the first model of the Colonial Viper space fighter line and was also known as the Starhound Class Viper. These small, nimble, single-pilot ships were designed for both atmospheric and space flight and were stationed on Colonial Battlestars, each of which held a squadron of 75. It was introduced to the military service not so long before the First Cylon War[2] (sic) as a defensive counterattack against the Cylon Fleet.
- The ship comes complete with a 16-page[3] collector’s magazine providing an in-depth profile of the ship, exclusive behind the scenes articles, and original design sketches.

References
- ↑ In reality, variants of the Viper existed in the Original Series, such as the craft identified by C.O.R.A. as a "sixth-millennium starfighter" in "The Long Patrol." Calling this a "Mark I" is more in line with the Re-imagined Series nomenclature for the Viper superiority craft.
- ↑ The "First Cylon War" is a term used in the Re-imagined Series. The term should be "Thousand Yahren War."
- ↑ This page count includes the front and back magazine cover.
- ↑ The Twelve Colonies of Man did not have noticeable symbology.
