RCarlson Posted March 23, 2021 Share Posted March 23, 2021 (edited) I've been finally getting around to taking photos of some of my completed kits and getting them posted. That being said, I may not exactly remember everything I did or added. I finished this S-3 at least 10 years ago. This is the Esci kit with the Pyn-up decals. I also used the Goffy Models cockpit and wheel well/bomb bay set. I think these are produced by Blackdog models now, but could be wrong. I also used the resin engine intakes that at the time were made from a guy on Ebay. I believe these were picked up by someone, but also can't remember. I also used the Paragon wing folds. Hope you enjoy and I will try to post more of my complete kits soon. Edited March 23, 2021 by RCarlson Quote Link to post Share on other sites
janman Posted March 23, 2021 Share Posted March 23, 2021 I really like it! I would expect an old ESCI kit has its challenges but it seems you've overcome them. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ST0RM Posted March 23, 2021 Share Posted March 23, 2021 Wow, not the usual grey Viking. Nice choice in schemes and subject. Well done! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The S-3 kit from ESCI was pretty straight forward. It went together well, it's lacking in some detail, but pretty easy to overcome. I have another one done that I did before this one and one more waiting to be finish hoping for some decals to be done for an airframe I want to do. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I really liked this retirement scheme they did. The Viking community had some real nice paint jobs. Did you ever get to photograph many of them? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Closest I got to one, was flying under it enroute to Afghanistan. They were at 25k and headed to the ship. We passed them and continued the mission. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Curt B Posted July 21, 2021 Share Posted July 21, 2021 Thanks to everyone who replied! It gives me a bit more confidence that even I might be able to build this model correctly, and make it look pretty good! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RCarlson Posted July 21, 2021 Author Share Posted July 21, 2021 You will enjoy it Curt. Like Steve said over in your thread, a little patients and some add on and these become really nice looking kits (the 2 he is doing look awesome!). The other plus side is there are a lot of nice decal options for them. Ron Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Ron Oh, wow, now I'm embarrassed...somehow, I thought I WAS responding in my thread 😳 I am SUCH an idiot....sorry for being stupid in your thread, Ron. But I appreciate you letting me know your thoughts. I'm looking forward to getting my Viking! And, you have built a BEAUTIFUL AIRPLANE!!!! I can only hope mine will end up 1/10 as good!
