This paper model is a very detailed Viper Mark II, the Colonial Fleet's primary space superiority fighter / attack craft during the initial Cylon War, based on the sci-fi TV series Battlestar Galactica, the papercraft was created by UHU02. Viper Mark II fighters are used by Galactica to effectively combat the Cylons and their more advanced fighters during the exodus from the Twelve Colonies.
Capable of atmospheric flight, the Viper Mark II is a single-seat craft possessing two kinetic energy weapons (KEWs). Hard-points beneath the wings allow missiles, munitions pods and other ordnance to be mounted.
The Viper Mark I entered Colonial service shortly before the outbreak of the Cylon War. However, it is this Mark II variant that has garnered the most recognition. The fighter served with distinction throughout the Cylon War, proving to be a capable fighting vehicle and winning renown across the Twelve Colonies; the Mark II is regarded as instrumental in ensuring that the Colonials did not lose the original Cylon War.
The Mark II remained in service after the end of the conflict, but was subsequently superseded by newer models. At the time of the Cylon holocaust, the sleek Mark VII is the front-line variant of the Viper design. It retains the Mark II's general layout, but utilizes fully networked systems to provide superior battle management and combat information for the pilot.
Seemingly similar to the Cylon Raider in performance as well as weaponry, a Mark II is capable of holding its own against many times its number of Raiders in the hands of a seasoned pilot. Galactica's Viper contingent regularly fights off large Raider wings; in one particular instance, Kara Thrace defeats eight Raiders almost single-handedly. [Source: battlestarwiki]
