SARdog82 Posted March 18, 2016 Share Posted March 18, 2016 Decided to put the trumpeter 1/32 A-6A to the side for a little while because I was loosing patience with it and the decals just were not agreeing with me. So now I am starting a dual S-3 viking diorama. Tons of aftermarket going into this. Eduard big red detail sets, rhino models seamless intakes, true details metal landing gear, resin cockpit, wolfpack wing fold set wolfpack OIF update set, hasegawa weapons set, hasaegawa flight deck crew set, verlinden flight deck crew, verlinden flight deck tractor, flight path carrier deck set, eduard AGM-65 maverick and I think that is everything. I was sawing off the resin bits and realized my razor saw is extremely dull so I ordered a new one. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
falcon20driver Posted March 18, 2016 Share Posted March 18, 2016 Awesome idea. I look forward to tagging along and watching your build. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SARdog82 Posted March 18, 2016 Author Share Posted March 18, 2016 Thanks. I'm looking forward to this one. Not sure if I'm going to do both of them chalked and chained to the deck or one chalked and chained and the other taxing or one lining up on the catapult while the other waits behind the JBD. What do y'all thing Quote Link to post Share on other sites
falcon20driver Posted March 18, 2016 Share Posted March 18, 2016 I think one hooked to the cat ready to go and the other behind the blast shield with the wings still folded waiting its turn would be awesome. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SARdog82 Posted March 19, 2016 Author Share Posted March 19, 2016 Falcondiver that's what I'm leaning towards as well. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
A-10 LOADER Posted March 19, 2016 Share Posted March 19, 2016 Sounds cool but, that's gonna be one big display when finished. Steve Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Aigore Posted March 19, 2016 Share Posted March 19, 2016 Now that's all kinds of interesting goodies! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SARdog82 Posted March 20, 2016 Author Share Posted March 20, 2016 After looking at the kit and all the goodies. Looks like I'm only using the main fuselage nose wheel well and tail horizontal stabilers,wheels and canopy. We will see how the aftermarket seamless intakes work.

SARdog82 Posted March 22, 2016 Author Share Posted March 22, 2016 Didn't get much done the last couple days. Finished cutting and sanding the resin cockpit and surgery on the fuselage for the OIF update set. I hope to get a good amount done this weekend Quote Link to post Share on other sites

SARdog82 Posted June 1, 2016 Author Share Posted June 1, 2016 Sorry I've been away for awhile, I am in the process of transferring to a new duty station and have packed up the shop. Luckily I will be arriving at my new place on Friday and the moving truck gets there on Saturday so I will be back in business soon!!! Here are some pics of what I had gotten completed before packing up the shop. I'm itching to get back to it.. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
kike Posted June 1, 2016 Share Posted June 1, 2016 I have the same kit waiting so I'll follow closely your updates! mine won't have all the goodies tho! but I'm sur I'll learn lots of things by watching your build! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SARdog82 Posted June 1, 2016 Author Share Posted June 1, 2016 It's a fun kit and goes together fairly well from what I have had. I already have it primed so when I get the office back up and running it will be time for preshading. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
