anchoring those in there with the fiberglass is genious.  How thick do the wings look from the front?  are you going to sand down the edges to make it more streamlined? 

Naw, I'll try to make my own design as to not coppy yours too closely.  I'm probably going to give mine a more swept forward look with the guns close to the fusalage like the original BSG viper.

snub fighter challenge?

I gotta get my swoop done, lol.

Here is a pic of the base coat applied,  now to stripe and weather ( dirty ) it, I still may either use a vintage canopy or scratch build one, depends. I want it to look used.

Now see, that's what I think a Z-95 Headhunter *should* look like...

Awesome fighter!

doc, shoudln't the z-95 have longer more x-wing like wings?  and I don't think the headhunter had a top fin either...   
Maybe this should be labled the
"z-100 pit-viper" or something like that... giving homage to both the BSG viper and the z-95...

ok yeah that's what I remember the z-95 looking like.  I think the only reference I'd seen to it as a kid was the technical guide to vehicles and vessles. 

I think someone did a realy interesting from scratch model on rebelscum's forums that I ran across a long time ago...
