DirkE Posted November 27, 2016 Share Posted November 27, 2016 Here I present my second Viking in progress. Also from Italeri, but the ES-3A Shadow kit. I already reached the stage where I am not far away from using primer. Therefore these following pictures try to give you a wip-overview what has been done already. All panel lines were redone, because the ones from Italeri are too wide and deep. The radar dome is cut away and will be displayed open. The wings and the fin will be folded. To get a view on the radio operator workplace I cut open the top ejection seat exit. It can be replaced so that its closed. The electronic bay (where normaly the bomb bay is, will be equiped with details. To achieve this project I needed to use some aftermarket parts: 4804 S-3B Viking bomb bay, wheels bays from Goffy Model 4803 S-3B Viking cockpit, electronic bays, crew door from Goffy Model Decals Aeromaster 48-551 48697 S-3 Bomb bay from Eduard 48696 S-3 exterior from Eduard 48156 S-3B detail set from Eduard 48698 S-3 undercarriage from Eduard 48066 S-3 Wing and fin folds from Paragon WP48130 S-3B Viking OIF Update set from Wolfpack R033 Weighted wheels from Royal Resin (-> I might switch to 3D printed ones) 48006 S-3 Viking landing gear from SAC 26001 A-10 Detailset from Italeri (-> here I just need the engine) For the diorama I got some stuff too. But still not decided what to use. I will just present the photos here. I hope they are self-explaining. If not, feel free to ask. The front ip needs to be adjusted to the Shadow layout.

Tony T Posted November 29, 2016 Share Posted November 29, 2016 Wow! Spectacular. Remember going to Upper Heyford to photograph EF-111As and ended up with some nice, grey, external pics. I showed the PAO the stuff I had from Grumman and that made them even more nervous! The next month some dude got all the internals and cockpit photos, just playing thick. Lesson to self: sometimes playing thick has its benefits! Tony DirkE 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DirkE Posted December 1, 2016 Author Share Posted December 1, 2016 primer on. No black-basing. Instead I thought to use the dark gray from the primer as a base. Then used Alclad white primer.

A-10LOADER Posted December 8, 2016 Share Posted December 8, 2016 Dirk, You should post this WIP to the Aircraft Resource Center site, I'm certain a lot of people would be interested in seeing your work / skills. Looks awesome so far. Steve Lothar 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lothar Posted December 8, 2016 Share Posted December 8, 2016 Fantastic WIP Dirk, this looks very promising, can't wait for the finished model Lothar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DirkE Posted December 10, 2016 Author Share Posted December 10, 2016 finished the engine. Its from the Italeri add-on set for the A-10 kit. Since the A-10 and the Viking have the same engine, I thought this should be nice to display.
