ESCI S-3A Viking - Nimitz 1981 Part IV


Recommended Posts

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. Never seen a 48th one finished before. I only everbuilt a couple Hasegawa 72nd ones finished with Microscale decals. Airfix did one too but again never see  one made.
