During the recent sales in OUG a much sought after item was found and lost.
The Monogram Buck Rogers Starfighter/Thunderfighter.Looooong out of production ,commands mad prices on ebay up to 70US for an unbuilt kit some say.
Well guys and girls there is an alternative(I also dont have the kit anymore)
Presenting the paper model, or if you like you could you this as a template for scratchbuilding a plastic model.Its a free download just print ,cut and stick.
Its a real beauty and this is the link Buck Rogers Starfighter/Thunderfighter erm use Google toolbar to transalate it.

Thanks for the link, Enghui.
Sure makes me feel a lot better since I'm really looking for the kit. Yeah, the shape is pretty much very easy to scratchbuild. (Peanuts if you're Naza :lol: )

And it is in 1/32... maybe someone can resize it and make a 1/24th version of it using plastic sheet... :lol:

For a minute there I thought you were going to use the rehearsed line:
"Wanna see MY Buck Roger's kit???"
You lucky devil!

Ayoh!
You the man...thank you thank you. Some more the man came all the way to my house to deliver it.
You took the trouble to get to it first...you ought to be having this kit so please take it from me before I get too attached to it. Seriously you'd do a better job on it than I would.
Offer is open to you man same same price you bought it. Cheap cheap. Ball is in your court. To me nostalgia is enough imagine seeing it after all these years.
So how Mr Eng Hui? :D :D :D I'm not taunting you...I'm serious.

Glad to help Zaidi, paper models are too cool.
Mr Loo ,Thanks for da compliment but you are the Ex El (XL) Ex El Presidente
Dear Bastion Hold Out members,
I am always ON for a cold one at the Bastion. ^_^
however as for the kit ,I am not going to take Excalibur away from King Arthur.
PS:this Buck Rogers Starfighter was designed be Ralph McQuarrie so thats why it looks like a Snowspeeder.Also this design was in the running to be the Viper on Battlestar Galactica.Buck Rogers and Battlestar Galactica are from the same producer.See what we learn when we dont have what we want? heheheh

you can check Federationmodels.com for a resin 1/32 scale Starfighter (not a recast) which was made following the actual prop specs and has an option kit for a detailed interior cockpit 2 seat version. Very impressive kit.
On the topic of the design of the fighter, it was one of the drawings presented to Lucas for X-wing fighter for the Death Star battle in Episode 4 - A New Hope but was rejected for the model we see onscreen now. :D
cheers
