VI per MARK I I
COLONIAL FLEET FIGHTER - 1/72 SCALE
The Viper Mark II was the second model of Viper introduced during the Cylon War. It became the main fighter craft for the Colonial
Fleet in the latter part of the war, quickly replacing the Viper Mark I. It proved to be faster and more maneuverable than the Mark I
with a sleeker design and more powerful engines. The Mark II gave the Colonial Fleet fighter supremacy, which eventually led to the
Colonial victory against the Cylons .
After the Cylon War, th e Viper Mark II stayed in service until it was eventually replaced by the Mark III. However, the Mark II is the
most remembered fighter craft of the Cylon War and holds the legendary status as the best fighter in the Colonial history.
Length: 8.4 meters (27.6 ft.); Width: 4.7 meters (15.5 ft.); Height: 2.7 meters (9 ft.)
