The Vic Viper, from the game "Gradius," is a space fighter originating from the planet, you guessed it, Gradius. It comes armed with the Beam Shot, tail guns, missiles, laser, and four Option craft. The landing gear and weapon hatches are openable and it also features realistic engine detail. A great kit to bring back the nostalgia of the first Gradius! While most of the fighter is molded in color, the blue panelling is not colored, so painting is a must for complete accuracy. Molded in white and gray with a clear part for the canopy. A sheet of self-adhesive stickers is provided for detail so no painting is required (although paint will be needed if you want your model to look like the completed sample shown on the box and in the photos below).
