1:48 S-3A/S-3B Viking wipers - Italeri

S-3 Viking windshield wipers 1:48 (Quickboost)

This set from the Czech maker Quickboost brings precisely cast resin windshield wipers in 1:48 scale. It is a small but prominent detail that replaces the often simplified or missing wipers from a base kit and raises the realism of a model.

The real subject

The Lockheed S-3 Viking was an American carrier-based anti-submarine aircraft with a crew, operating from aircraft carriers. Fine accessories such as wipers are among the features that catch the eye on a finished model when seen from close up.

Use

• Carefully separate the parts from the casting block and clean them up lightly.
• Glue with cyanoacrylate glue (super glue).
• Fitting the wipers at the end of the build, after glazing and painting, works well.

Who the set is for

• Builders of the S-3 Viking model in 1:48 scale.
• Modelers who care about small but faithful details.
• Those used to working with small resin parts.

This is a detail accessory, not a standalone model. The paints, the glue and the kit are not included in the package.
