Phil, that thing is beautimus ! I love that ship, it's one of my favs. I know you asked this question at the RI. This thing is supposed to be 1/35 scale correct ? If it's not too much trouble, could you confirm the dimensions for me. I have about 12 inches long by 15 inch wingspan. I know you're metric there, so millimeters will work, Cheers,

I'm pretty pleased with the look of this myself.It would have been nice to have those extra details Doug has thrown on his but i just didn't and still don't have a real lot of Raider reference.Infact there is a part placement error as the the picture's i was using for my reference had this part not quite in the correct spot.But i can't do much about that now.
Anyway,yes it's apparently meant to be 1/35 scale this one in SS.It'd be a big bugger if done in the same 1/24 as the Viper.
Just measured it for you and in your language it's about 13 1/2" long with a wingspan of aroud 17".
It's a nice size,not to big,but big enough to still look pretty cool!

Thanks Man, thats a good size. I was trying to figure out how big it would be in 1/12 scale, like the big viper model, There was talk of that over at the RI. Turns out the wingspan in 1/12 scale would be 49 1/2 inches, WOW ! And it would be 39 3/8 long, WOW, again ! That would be one big sucker, I think I'll let someone else tackle that one, Cheers,

Yes it would be awesome, I wish I had it in me to build one. Braggin' rights Forever, LOL.

34" across is pretty big still but possibly achievable in this lifetime.

Yea, everything would have to be scratched in a 1/12 version. If someone had access to a rapid prototype machine, then.... I don't so that leaves me out, LOL. You'd still have to build those Big T parts on top , and that big honkin' Centurion tank section. Doable, but very painful , I would love to see one, even if it won't be me to do it. I could do the body itself, with glass fiber. But the details would make me pull out my hair. Oh well, who wants to take up the challenge, bueller, bueller, Sorry to hi jack your thread Phil. I love your build, it's a sweet rendition. I really like that kit. Maybe when Santa comes, I might get one. Cheers,

Hi jacking accepted here,ya's are talking Raider afterall.
1/12,that would be just out there,no question!!Honestly,it's the shape of this thing that would just make it mind blowing with those dimensions.It's just a rectangle with some trimmed edges in shape ,so that is gonna be bloody massive.
Still'theres been talk and that can lead to something at sometime?Who woulda thought we'd ever see a 1/12 Viper?It'd make a good pair having a Viper and Raider in the same scale,the closest we got at the moment is a 1/35 SS Raider with a 1/32 Monogram Viper.But 1/12,now that'd be impressive,even if you did have to build an extension on the house to show em!

I'm also very happy to see you on a board again,Don!That it happens to be this one is something for us all to enjoy here.You are someone i'm very happy to call my friend as that's what you are mate!
But Don,you already know,us Aussies don't lie mate,we may happen to bullshit just a lil at times though?

This one brings back memories for me!

I think it was just before seeing this and Phil's Viper that I had heard him say he wasn't "much of a painter".

Yup.

It was about this time that I learned Phil is a frakin LIAR!




Great to see her again buddy.
