Description
This is MY take on the size differance between a Colonial Viper, and a Cylon Raider. Most documentation will have the Raider at about the same size as the Viper. But after having seen pictures of the Raider cockpit set (With someone sitting in it. As well from the episode 'Hand of God', where they fit 4 people (during the preflight goodbyes) in the cockpit, with room to spare. And on the Basestar, when Starbuck and Apollo leave the Raider, they can almost stand up under it. I used figures to properly fit ther personnel to each fighter. And with all that, came up with this.Related content

I didn't really think about it either, untill I got around to drawing them. And was suprised at what my research came up with. And thank you.

You know what, given that fact that Raiders seat three, seven foot tall Centurians comfortably, this size difference makes sense.
In addition this would allow it to carry greater fuel and ordinance, since its chief purpose seems more along the lines of bombing human cities than dog fighting.
This would also explain why Vipers do so well against them in aerospace combat.
I like the way you think my friend.

Why thank you. As I said. I based it off of pictures of the full size set, with someone sitting in it. As well as other things. And this was the smallest it could possably be.
