A basic set of glazing masks for the S-3A Viking carrier-based anti-submarine aircraft, for the Hasegawa kit in 1:72 scale.
Responsibility details are not available.
The machine first flew in January 1972, and the US Navy looked to it for the range and endurance that the piston types then in service did not have. A crew of four operated the magnetometer on its retractable boom, the sonobuoys and the radar, and the aircraft could stay over the water for long hours. The quiet running of its pair of turbofan engines earned it a mocking nickname taken from a brand of vacuum cleaners.
The BASIC designation means that the set covers the glazing of the cockpit and the side windows. The shapes are prepared for a particular kit, so they sit on the frame with no extra trimming. Anyone who needs the wheels, the bulges and other small items covered as well reaches for the richer version of the same line.
Degrease the surface and avoid touching it with your fingers. Lift the parts with tweezers by the edge, lay them on dry and only then press them down. On flat panes it helps to run a fingernail along the edge through a soft cloth before spraying. Apply the paint at right angles, or it will get under the edge and the line will smear.
The roomy fuselage took equipment for which a smaller airframe would have had no space, and even so the machine fitted on the deck elevator and into the hangar below the flight deck. A folding wing and a folding vertical tail were a condition for carrier types; without them they simply would not have fitted into the line.
The set serves only for masking; the plastic parts of the aircraft are sold separately.
