Built for NoVVember 2020. The wings of this Vic Viper grew from a tablescrap I've had sitting around for a while, waiting for a good MOC to use it on. It sort of made me think of peacock feathers, but the balloon shells don't come in colors that seem like they'd work for a peacock. I really liked the how the colors on <a href="www.flickr.com/photos/donutsftw/50541590113/in/dateposted-public">my fourth Mechtober mech</a> looked, so I decided to use a similar scheme here. The colors didn't work for a Peacock, but in keeping with the bird-like nature of the wings, I dubbed this ship the "Screaming Cockatrice".

Love the color scheme!

It's always neat to see how builders are able to use those balloon panels in unique and interesting ways. Very eye-catching for the 'feathers', and for the color scheme. To my eye, this would look good with racing livery (sponsor labels and such) as the model strikes me as a racer. There's a story there, methinks. Great job!
