Battlestar Galactica Original Galactica

I'm not a BSG fan, but I'm glad I gave this kit a try. The detail is BEYOND amazing - you could easily spend every weekend over a year if you wanted to paint every little hull plate or fuel line. I'm also blown away by how well the pieces are designed. Many of the seems fit so well together, you don't really need glue. In fact, my Galactica is sitting on my workbench right now, not glued together, yet you can pick the model up and it holds together. Unbelievable! Finally, the instructions point out that on the show, the TV filming model was really not weathered at all. Therefore, if you like, you can assemble the whole kit, spray it with primer, then dust it with white, and you'll produce a screen-accurate replica. Its true! I've just finished one Galactica and I think I'll build a second one with this painting method. Can't praise this kit enough - easily one of my ALL TOP TEN FAVORITE MODEL KITS.
