In the original 1978 show, the Battlestar Galactica was an advanced vessel that led the Colonial fleet. It had a crew of 500 and carried 75 vipers. The ship was designed by concept artist Ralph McQuarrie who started on the new TV show after working on Star Wars. The brief was to create an aircraft carrier and he gave the ship twin pods on outriggers that provided the vipers with a runway they could land on. The model is just over 10.5 inches (27 cm) long.

The modern Viper is a careful update of artist Ralph McQuarrie's original design that was created for the 2004 reboot 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 model is 10.6 inches (27 cm) long.

LIMITED EDITION In the original 1978 Battlestar Galactica, we were told there were twelve battlestars, though only eight were ever named on screen. Three more battlestar names — Solaria, Cerberus and Prometheus — were waiting in the wings, intended to join the Colonial fleet had the series continued. The Battlestar Prometheus is being made in a limited edition of just 500. One of those long-rumoured additions to the fleet, she takes her place at last alongside the Galactica and her sister ships — a piece of Battlestar Galactica lore realised for the very first time. This classic-era battlestar is made from die-cast and ABS, and measures 10.5 inches in length. This is a limited edition that will ship to customers in October.
