The Modern[1] Raptor is issue #10 from Eaglemoss' Battlestar Galactica: The Official Ships Collection, a series of collectible models from the Battlestar Galactica multiverse.

Description

From Eaglemoss' product page:

The Raptor is one of the most versatile ships in the Colonial Military. Operating both offensively and defensively, the Raptor was used to ferry troops and munitions, boost or block communications, and conduct search and rescue operations.
This Raptor ship model is brought to life in heavyweight die-cast metal and high-quality ABS materials. It captures the ship’s unique design, a chunky appearance that earned it the nickname "flying pillbox", and small details like landing lights, engine burn, and cockpit decals. We have worked closely with members of the Galactica VFX team to ensure that the model is as accurate as possible.
The ship comes complete with a 16-page[2] collector’s magazine providing an in-depth profile of the ship, exclusive behind the scenes articles, original design sketches, and interviews.
