Starting the next build up with a little OOB review.
I'll be working on the Moebius Models 1/32 Cylon Raider from the re-imagined battlestar Galactica.

All in all, I'm fairly impressed with the kit. It's a fairly nice representation of the revised Mk2 Cylon Raider as first seen in Season Three of the re-imagined Battlestar Galactica.
The kit has a good amount of detail, just based on what I've seen without test fitting anything together as of yet.
The "eye" and engines have clear inserts to allow for lighting.
The rest of the kit looks to be fairly well engineered for ease of assembly and only a few possible seam line issues.
Panel lines are all engraved, and seem to be accurately placed
Only real niggles I have with it so far are the raised Cylon insignia on the wings, and the raised trademark info on the bottom.
Luckily, both of these are solved easily enough.
There are no decals with this kit, but Starship Modeler has the insignia available from their online store.
I'll start building it fairly soon here.
