Buck Rogers Thunderfighter Starfighter build
I came across the Centuri Buck Rogers Starfighter build thread this past W/E and I decided it was U-G-L-Y. So I did a little research for a paper Thunderfighter and found a fantastic model on a German site. I enlarged it a little(150%) and started building it. I plan to borrow as much as I can and use this paper model to make a flying model rocket. Depending on the size and weight, it will be either a LPR or MPR twin motors.

Matt Gillard did a great job of cloning the Thunderfighter in EMRR
( http://www.rocketreviews.com/reviews..._fighter.shtml)
Based on his work and the German paper model I found, I intend to build the ultimate Thunderfighter Starfighter.
The Thunderrfighter was suppose to be the original Viper for the
TOS Battlestar Galactica.
See it here in the PaperModelers thread.

I like the MKII version and I'll incorporate the modifications for stability.
Please feel free to give any input toward this build.
