Buck Rogers in the 25th Century - Visual Effects Model Maker - Thunder Fighter/Star Fighter

Buck Rogers in the 25th Century Main Page.

You may know it as the Star Fighter, but we called it the Thunder Fighter. We built two full copies, started a third, and had some variations. This is another model that several people had a hand in including Ken Larson, but Mike Joyce did the most.
