Here's the scoop you guys:

Colonial Viper (Special Edition)
Studio Accurate Kit with Clear Canopy, Cockpit Interior, Corrected Rear Detail, Expanded Accurate Decal Set & Pilot Figure

Cylon Basestar (Special Edition)
Studio Accurate Kit with Newly Tooled Detail Parts

Cylon Raider (Special Edition)
Studio Accurate Kit with Newly Tooled Engine Vanes

No plans to re-issue the original Galactica because it would require a whole new tool to make it accurate. Now, if these re-issues do well, then maybe...

Now, the term "studio accurate" is of course going to be an issue of debate amongst the most rabid of ya'll, but given the circumstances regarding the original tools, it's better than you'd have expected. So there!

From that I'm sold. I would like the Raider to have the proper detail at the front though.

It'd be nice if one of the garage kit masters came out with an accurate Big G kit in scale with the Revell baseship though.

I just got the 30th anniversary edition model of the Raider. I'm in the middle of painting all parts that need to be painted so hubby can glue it together! My next purchases will be the Viper and lastly the basestar. All of my models will go in display cases to keep them from being damqged by my cat and dog!

I do not understand why they haven't reissued the Galactica. Even as it originally was I think it would sell quite well!

[bsg1fan1975]

me either. I'd buy it!

So any pictures of these completed sets?

Would love to see the Viper.
