We're not closed on the house yet, but things have calmed down for now. So here's one that's been on the back burner for a while - a Russian Knights themed Mk VII.
My guess would be some sort of fusion or fission powerplant. There was mention of rad buffers in the miniseries. Granted they needed fuel to operate in an atmosphere and a true nuclear powered craft wouldn't.

Looks great, B.J.! I'm hoping for Blue Angels and Thunderbirds themed Mk VIIs at some point in the future.

B.J. I believe I saw some time back a sketch of a viper mkVII-E striker a two seater viper meant for bombing ops just like its brother the original mkVII the only changes was on the cockpit area with the two seats and the wings with cruise missle hardpoints I wish I had the sketch to send it but I would be most intrested in seeing this fighter-bomber with your style of art I'm already a fan of yours so it would be great to see this one
Something else I've wanted to do for a while - Racing Vipers! These few schemes are based (loosely) on existing air racers. I figured that in the 40(?) years since the last Cylon war, many Viper MkIIs got bought and repurposed as racing vehicles, much like many WWII era aircraft are being used now. The only modifications I've made to the body are removing the guns (of course), and putting in an access panel over the forward equipment bay to help smooth out the aerodynamics.

So these are the NBSG version of Unlimited racers like Rare Bear and Dago Red, right?
To get a *complete* list, you can get them all from this thread. But instead of searching through all the pages, you can click on the little paperclip icon for this thread in the 2D WIPs forum listing, and a window will pop up that lists all the attachments. Not all the attachments in this thread are mine, though.

Had to do a couple in this camo scheme that I've been wanting to do for a while now.

Fantastic work btw
I'm not aware of any official MkVI.
