Tomcatter Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 Hi everyone, I'd like to present my ES-3A Shadow by Italeri. I just finished the model yesterday after a 10-month build. The S-3 Viking kit itself is ok, whereas the Shadow specific parts are absolutely horrible and don't fit at all. Im quite pleased with the result, of course some minor bits bug me, but in general I'm happy. I hope you like the model! That's it!

stevej60 Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 That,s a lovely build and finish,the paint shading is superb capturing the wear and tear these low-viz schemes are noted for,and the colourful tail markings really set it off! Great job. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stephen Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 Great work, the paint finish is spot on. Is that the kit canopy or Squadron vacform? Stephen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomcatter Posted February 11, 2015 Author Share Posted February 11, 2015 Hey, Thankyou very much for the positive feedback, I'm glad you like my model @ Stephen: It's the kit canopy, the only aftermarket I added was Eduard's photo-etched cockpit set and masking set. Cheers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spad Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 Lovely job - always a bit cautious when it comes to weathered USN stuff as it is often over-done but yours looks "right", to my eyes. Nice one! ATB Rick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
