1:72 S-3B

1:72 S-3B from Eduard

A photo-etched accessory set in 1:72 scale from the Czech maker Eduard for sharpening a plastic model of the American carrier aircraft Lockheed S-3 Viking in the S-3B version. The etching usually adds details of the cockpit, the instruments, the seat belts and other fine elements beyond what injection-molded plastic offers. It is not a model but a detail accessory.

The real subject

The Lockheed S-3 Viking was an American carrier-based jet aircraft intended above all for anti-submarine warfare; the S-3B version brought modernized avionics and armament. It served from the decks of American aircraft carriers and later took on tanker and reconnaissance duties as well.

Use and fitting

Separate the parts from the fret, shape the fine elements and bond them with super glue. Paint the unpainted parts according to the instructions. Tweezers, a magnifier and patience are recommended.

Who the set is for

• Builders of the S-3B Viking model in 1:72 scale
• Modelers who want a detailed cockpit and interior
• More advanced builders used to working with etchings
• Fans of American carrier aviation

This is an accessory photo-etched set, not a model of an aircraft. The model itself, glue and paints are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.
