Just a quick update on the S-3 Viking discussion. I recently acquired one of the Esci kits, paid roughly $25 USD for it. The plastic is in decent shape, the instructions are a bit yellowed and the decal sheet looks like it will probably fall apart if I tried to use it and the canopy glass is somewhat scratched from bouncing around in the bag. The bags in the box were still sealed. I'm hoping some polishing of the canopy will take care of the scratches. I also ordered an aftermarket set of decals for VS-21 low-vis markings. This is down a few kits on my build plan, but hoping to get to it before the end of the year.jelliott523 wrote:
I would gladly spend $ on a new-tooled kit of the S-3, I've been watching a couple of the online auction sites and event the old ESCI/AMT kit is getting pricey. Maybe a new kit with some PE included in the kit like most Academy and Trumpeter kits are doing now.
I recently picked up the Trumpeter TA-3B and it has nice photo-etch included.
