Awesome! Those are incredible!

Mmmph. I don't like the Viper but must admit they look nice all together. What is doing that poor Scyk with the Vypers? Is it their scout?

How do you make the wings fold? I've been wanting to do it with my TAP and GUNBOATs when I get them in.

Much tougher for the TAPs and Gunboats.

For the viper the cockpit pops off, and the wings pop out of that. Then you can either round off the spar between them, or cut and pin, at your discretion.

Theoretically what space invader said. In my experience, the cockpit definitely does not "pop off." The amount of glue in there seems to vary quite a bit from model to model. Trying to pry them apart may work but I was way to worried about stabbing myself (again) or breaking the model.

I followed somebody's advice on here and just popped them in and out of the freezer a few times and applied gentle pressure to the wings trying to break the glue. It mostly worked but I did have to use some superglue on the dark blue one to stabilize when it was all done.

I broke the peg on my black viper cockpit. It'll still go back together fine with some glue.

Gameplay? Sunny is a 12pt ship with same pilot skill and flies way better with the Vipers than a Z-95.

Fluff? Sunny is the leader of a Swoop Racer Gang called The Black Seraphs. Not sure why the crew get the best ships... Maybe Sunny just really likes her bitchin camo paint job.

Oh, **** yes... fantastic work!
