Now here is something every fan of the classic Battlestar Galactica should have, a compact sized and near exact replica of the Colonial Capital ship in a plastic kit form. By comparison to Monogram/Revell's version, the new Moebius kit literally blows that one away in terms of her accuracy, details and presentation. Fully build up, she really does look like an actual Battlestar instead of a hunch backed platypus the Monogram/Revell kit produced. You can see much research and thought had been put in when producing this kit, and it is literally what fans have been crying for for years. Yes, we want a kit that we don't have to butcher just to get that original classic look.
The new kit is also in 1/4105 scale, in tandem with Monogram/Revell's version, and also in scale with the new mini series Galactica kit (from Moebius as well). She can be easily built right out of the box (relatively easy too) but do test the fittings first. Moebius's objective was to produce a kit that was affordable, fun to build and close to her original counterpart as possible. So with the issue of cost in mind, they did their best and released this gem to the delight of fans worldwide.
And then of course there are those who seek to improvise on the details to make her more like her studio model (me included). So what did we do? We yearn for aftermarket parts. So if you are anything like me and want your kit to stand out among the crowd, here are a few available products you want to get.
