Once again a group
build model. Gone but not forgotten this time. This is a Italeri 1/48 S3-A
Viking built out of the box. Add ons are two pilots from a Hasegawa F-14 and
another camera stand so I could do this model in flight. I received the
Aeromaster extremely hard to find S3 decals from Sony Ken, thanks KEN!!!!!!

Only hard part was closing
all the weapons and wheel doors. A fair amount of putty over 3 sessions
was required for a smooth enough body. Its really different seeing one of
these guys wheels up, don't know of anyone else who has tried this one.
This model was built
as the original (701) was damaged some time ago. I tried fixing it, but it never
looked right. Best option was the rebuild. I feel 702 actually turned out MUCH
better. No show winner but its still nice to see who much ones models improve
over the years, when you use the skills you can learn here on ARC.
