Default Is the viper on the scifi ads fake?

From what I remember from that widely circulated miniseries script on the internet, The Galactica and its Vipers were outdated and considered obsolete.

The bulk of the miniseries uses a new viper. But there is a bastardized "hommage" where in the decommisioning ceremony of the Galactica the "old" vipers were flown in a breif flyby. But that's it for the old vipers. The rest of the mini has a new viper.

So is the viper in the commercials the old one? If so...then that would mean they are using it to get "approval" from bg fans, but as soon as we feel happy to see it they switch back to the new Vipers? Which means we are screwed with another pile of crap design. ...ALL the art designs we have seen from the miniseries has lacked any real sense of style. And have been pretty gaudy and garish.

So is the commercials teasing us with false hopes too?

Is this the new viper? Or is it some prop they plan to dispose of as fast as possible. And its just there so they can make some commercials that look somewhat like the old show?
