It's been a while since my last post, or since my last finished model. But here's another one at last. This is the old ESCI S-3S Viking Sub Hunter. The model was upgraded with the Wolfpack Wing Folded set, the Wolfpack Vertical Tail Wing Fold set, Eduard interior set, Brengun 300gal Fuel tanks, and finished with HAD model decals and stencils. The model represents a Viking form VS-24, on board the Nimitz in 1981, during the Gulf of Sidra incident. A Viking was involved in the incident. Actually it was aircraft 702 from VS-30 Diamond Cutters, stationed on board the USS Forrestal, but to keep de model in line with my Nimitz 1981 project, I finally decided to build a Viking from VS-24. Hope you like. .

Nice! I am going to follow this! One question, how are the instructions? Asking because the instructions of Revells Tornado were a real disaster.

Nice. Very nice! I remember converting back in the ‘80s a Revel YF-18 into an F/A-18A. But the kit must have ended in the bin… Today I would have opted for the prototype.

That's really lovely! And that's a load of decals too.

Another wonderful Tomcat! We will never have enough ‘cats.

Nice!

For me one and only real Harrier. Lovely!

Nice!

Absolutely great!

Well... that’s simply perfect...

Nice! It’s a tough kit to tame, but you did a wonderful job on it.

Absolutely! Tons of new Tomcats, nothing wrong with that by the way, and 109's. But the last scale 1/48 AH-1G dates from 1967...

Excellent job! This is my favourite version of the Cobra and you turned the kit in a wonderful model. I’m waiting for years now for a decent scale 1/48 AH-1G...

Excellent job on that old Heller kit! Pierre Clostermann’s Big Show is the reason why I have a Tempest on the shelf too. What a marvellous book that is!

As a big Buck Danny (and Lady X) fan to another big Buck Danny fan: Lovely Job, I like the idea. I have toyed with the idea many, many times. But until now only my F-9F Panther was inspired by these comics.
