Python Raider ship kit

I still think the Raider Asp has the edge, just for cockpit cage!

Have to admit I'm not a huge fan of these myself, there are some details that I've liked in all of them so far (like the cockpit cage on the Asp one, also doesn't one of the Asp pieces look like a bit of gear with a pipe or conduit of some kind welded to the ship? that's a nice touch) but overall I don't particularly want my ships to look like an Orc barbarian's helmet.

That goes double for my beautiful Pythons, resplendent in their tactical ice paint.
 
The "corroded repaints" are well good though, especially the 'conda's, even if the "Reiver's Muck" stuck on the outside looks awful (don't need to stick any of it on but £8 is a bit much just for the skins).
 
No, just no.
The poor Python, the best looking ship in the game reduced to having bits of porcupine stuck all over her beautiful hull.
Someone will pay for this!

Where's T.J.?
 
The Marmite nature of these Raider Kits (love/loathe for those outside the UK) might just create a whole new sort of KOS approach for certain pilots.

"Gah, what has that Philistine done to that Python/Asp/Anaconda?! My sense of aesthetics is outraged! DIE SCUM!!!" [yesnod]
 
I really like the concept of the spiked mad max/ reaver style kits....

Unfortunately the paint jobs let the whole thing down. Not sure why they made the parts have nice rusty look to them with specular variation and some depth but then the paint is just fuzzy fractal pattern or sharp fractal pattern with rust coloured palette... A real shame. If the paint matched the detail level of the parts I would buy these in an instant but as they are now ... bleh. I'll wait until they upgrade the paint work visuals.
Cheers
