Also, the event organizer is looking for as many Cylon Centurions as he can get!

Looks cool, but very disproportionate.

Would definitely be larger than those prop planes it's been lined up against. :)

Early model. No doubt the Cylons modified the design as time went on.

Yeah, they got some more elbow room in the deal....and they were finally able to fit in generators for their laser cannons. :D

That helps, when you are trying to destroy things.

One thing I always thought was a bit strange was how the Raider looked so huge during HOG when Starbuck and Apollo had to climb the ladder to get up into it from below...

They usually get that way after seven years.

Sucks that the link is broken, I'd have liked to see that! :)

Spoke to the guy who built the full size Viper here in CA, a LOT of work! I had wanted to built a Viper, or a slightly smaller (and slightly more logical/economical - easier to transport, cheaper to build...) A-wing, but could not get any help with the projects. I did quite a bit of design work on the A-wing, the 'full-size' measurements were roughly around 15' long, and about 6' tall, going by the ROTJ Hangar scene, and the 1:8 scale production miniature, NOT the Official measurements, which are roughly two times that size... The Viper is around 29' long, so not too big, but Holy Frak! The Cylon Raider would be HUGE?! About 64 feet 'Tip to Tip'?

:yikes:

The economy model. Since Carillon, tylium is way up per gallon.
