Battlestar Galactica Colonial Viper - Alternate Build of 75460 X-Wing Starfighter

The LEGO community has a new creation: a Colonial Viper from *Battlestar Galactica*, built as an alternate model using parts from the 75460 X-Wing Starfighter set. This unique build blends elements from both the *Star Wars* and *Battlestar Galactica* universes, offering fans a creative take on a classic starfighter.

This custom Colonial Viper focuses on capturing the ship's signature triple-engine layout. The builder used round elements from the 75460 X-Wing to create the side thrusters, with a wheel piece forming the central thruster. Curved bricks shape the cooling intake behind the cockpit, and a small brick-built fin completes the classic three-pointed silhouette. The anhedral wings utilize large wedge plates and 1x10 plates, forming a double-delta shape. The side engines attach to the wings with pin hole plates and axle bricks, and each wingtip features laser cannons.

For playability, the Viper includes retractable front landing gear and a built-in ventral stand. The model is sturdy and can be handled confidently. The builder even included a female pilot, Colonel Ward, as a nod to Starbuck from *Battlestar Galactica*. The creator felt the design has crossover appeal, as many fans grew up watching the show.
