Here's a write up from the online retailer Play-Asia about this model kit:

Vic Viper, the classic fighter ship from the Gradius series has made it far since its first launch in 1985:

Besides starring in numerous Gradius video games, the Viper became a guest star in several other game franchises and anime series

One of the recent appearances has been the 2006/2007 TV-anime series "Skygirls
Set in 2084, the hope of the mankind lies on a new fighter, a secret military development. Vic Viper, equipped with laser-plasma guns and the fastest engine ever used in a space fighter.

Three times, the Vic Viper appears in Skygirls: in Episode 7, when the prototype is charging the sky for the maiden flight; in Episode 14, when the ship is involved in the first battle against a worm; and in episode 21, when a whole squadron joins the attack against a special enemy
