The original Viper is a maneuverable, one-man fighter that was one of the signature models of the original Battlestar Galactica. It was designed by legendary concept artist Ralph McQuarrie, who had recently finished work on Star Wars. The shooting models were beautifully made and rapidly became iconic.

The Eaglemoss model was one of the most popular the company produced. It measures 10.6 inches (27 cm) long.

Because the Galactica was losing so many Vipers to the Cylon fleet, Chief Petty Officer Galen Tyrol decided to build his own. The Blackbird was made with whatever he could find, but it was highly maneuverable, had stealth capabilities, and was capable of FTL travel. It did not have guns but the crew fitted it with a missile, which was used in the episode "Resurrection Ship."

The ship is approximately 10 inches (25.8 cm) in length.

This version of the Raider was seen in the TV movies Blood & Chrome and Razor. It was the design that was used in the First Cylon War and was an updated version of Ralph McQuarrie's mechanical original, which the production team redesigned to look more advanced.

The model has a wingspan of 7.5 inches (19 cm).

This model, from Battlestar Galactica: Blood & Chrome shows the Galactica in its prime during the First Cylon War, when it had more gun turrets and heavier armor plating.

The Eaglemoss model is just over 10.5 inches (27 cm) long.

The modern Viper is a careful update of Ralph McQuarrie's original design that was created for the 2004 reimagining of Battlestar Galactica. Writer and producer Ron D. Moore wanted to make the show about life on an spaceborne aircraft carrier and the Vipers and their pilots were central to his plans.

No Viper pilot was more compelling than Starbuck, who had all the skills (and flaws) to make her a great pilot. This version of the model has her call sign on the hull.

The Eaglemoss model is 10.6 inches (27 cm) long.

The Loki was a heavy cruiser that saw service in the First Cylon War. It was designed to carry supplies to combat vessels, but was heavily armed itself with 35 guns. The Loki was created for Battlestar Galactica: Blood & Chrome where it was part of the ghost fleet that was hidden from the Cylons.

The Eaglemoss model is approximately 10.5 inches (27 cm) in length.

This version of the Viper appeared in the TV movie Blood & Chrome, which showed us a pivotal battle in the First Cylon war. The design is close to the version that artist Ralph McQuarrie designed for the original 1978 series, but was made more muscular and upgraded for modern audiences.

The Eaglemoss model is just under 10.5 inches (26.5 cm) long.

The original series Cylon Baseships consisted of twin discs built around a central column. They served as both heavily armed warships and carriers for the smaller Cylon Raiders. They were designed by legendary concept artist Ralph McQuarrie, who worked on Battlestar Galactica after his concept work for Star Wars.

The model measures approximately 6 inches (15.5 cm) across.
