tankfarms Posted May 23, 2015 Share Posted May 23, 2015 Hello~ Haven't been to this forum for a long time, it's about time! I'm sharing my most recent build of this S-3 with you all.

Apollokid Posted May 23, 2015 Share Posted May 23, 2015 Really nice work! Great finish as well. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
82Whitey51 Posted May 23, 2015 Share Posted May 23, 2015 Nice job! The weathering looks really good. I have the COD version (US-3A) on deck, I'm going to make some custom VRC-50 markings for it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

tankfarms Posted May 23, 2015 Author Share Posted May 23, 2015 Thanks guys! This bird is quite large. I did a OOB build with slight weathering. I actually think S-3 isn't a bad looking aircraft after all Quote Link to post Share on other sites
balls47 Posted May 23, 2015 Share Posted May 23, 2015 Yessir, You did a great job on your "Hoover." I've seen them fly many times. It's too bad that the U.S. Navy took them out of front line service. There is talk of resurrecting the S-3. The airplane is a marvel. It can fly for hours without costly refueling. It can do amazing "stuff." Bring back the Hoover. I also see that you may be posting up some of your builds from your "missing period." Wow, do we have something to look forward to! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Collin Posted May 23, 2015 Share Posted May 23, 2015 FANTASTIC BUILD of a great aircraft. Other than marking her up as a Screwbird (I was a Redtail in VS-21).....she looks terrific. Cheers Collin Quote Link to post Share on other sites
