The Lockheed S3-A/S3-B Viking Air Anti-Submarine Aircraft was my planes i worked on, maintained, launched, as well as recovered while I did my time in the US Navy. My main job on these aircraft was a jet engine mechanic, working on the General Electric TF-34 jet turbine engines. My aircraft squadren was the VS-33 Screwbirds out of NASNI naval aviation airbase; SanDiego, California. The art work on the box cover was derived from the rag squadren across our flight line from the "VS-41 Fighting Shamrocks." Thankya for this video.
@@PerisModels I enjoyed the video very much, yes. i have a 1/72 scale model of this S3-A viking that was very detailed in building as well as the all the interior aircrew/ cockpit detail painting as well as exterior painting to one of the exact birds in my squadren at the time. the model was tail heavy so i ended up glueing a quarter inside the nose of the aircraft during assembly, lol. Took me 24 hours of total build time on the model. i have 4 uncompleted kits of this exact same kit as you shared in the video. The S-3's are an attack, multi mission capability aircraft including SAR (Search And Rescue) missions!
Looking great as always, Peri. I bought this kit years ago and it is still in my stash. I worked around the S-3 a lot...even though I was attached to an F-18 squadron (VFA-151), I was around S-3s a lot on the ship. We lost on of our S-3B's in the Persian Gulf in April 2003 when it slid off the deck after landing; the crew ejected safely and were rescued.
The video is awesome, the music made me sleepy. I had to mute it in order to continue watching the video, took some tips of this video to build an detail my S 3 Viking 1/48 scale. Awesome work an details on both videos, thank you for sharing your awesome work🙏👍
I have the NAVY ONE decal set to make the S-3B Viking. Now I just gotta find the correct model. The nice thing avout the decals is you get a set in both 1/72 and 1/48 scale. Hard set to find these days as they came out in 2003. Just waiting for a S-3B model to pop up on Ebay. All I can find is the A model like this one.
Αν σου πω ότι πριν μια εβδομάδα διάβαζα στο ίντερνετ γι' αυτό το συγκεκριμένο αεροπλάνο και τώρα έρχεσαι βρε Πέρη να μας το δείξεις σε κλίμακα 1/48, τι να πω. Πρέπει να κέρδισα το λαχείο. Σε ευχαριστούμε που μοιράζεσαι το χόμπι-πάθος σου μαζί μας. Υπέροχη δουλειά όπως συνήθως.
I had this same kit when I was younger only mine came with a tinted windscreen. I wish I had those folded wings cause this sucker took up massive amount is space after it was done. Can you imagine a 1/32 S-3 Viking holy crap.
Looking forwards to your build. pity about the cracked canopy, that happened to me on 2 kits, I got the squadron replacement. But the crack it seems that is in the frame so you might be able to fix. Mines was right thru the windscreen. Anyway , Thanks for posting, Tony
@@PerisModels Outstanding ! I think in order to make it tinted AMT used a thinner plastic. I had the original ESCI kit and the clear parts were harder . That kit is my list of items I want to build soon, Have the KMC interior, Squadron canopy and the Santa 1 decal , maybe now I get my mojo going , Thanks !
πολυ ωραιος δεν ηξερα οτι εισαι ελληνας και παρακολοu8ω το καναλι Πολυ καιρο αλλα δεν ετυχε να κοιταξω τα σχολια ποτε ,Bravo ,εχω φτιάξει απο την Ιταλερι το ιδιο πριν 10 χρονια κοντα ! Πολυ καλυτερα τα καινουργια κιτς και με ενα σκασμο εχτρα ,παλια τα καναμε ολα scratch build :P
The Black Dog cockpit is really nice. Almost a drop in fit, but the entry way needs to be built up to match up and hide gaps. (I'm installing mine in the right side first so I can adjust the fit there.) So jealous of your clear canopy. Mine had the tinted version so I had to order the Squadron vac canopy. (I also ordered the Rhino seamless intakes.) Does no one make ducting for the intake on the fin?
Hi! Nice work as usual. We waiting the next chapter. I have a question: what kind of paper or guide you use for rescribing panels lines? Thanks. Bests regards. Cédric from France.
Hi just discovered your channel a quick question if I may about a previous model the tomcatters ,when you weather the model with the salt technic do you do the underside ??
A rare model to find but so common in the aircraft carriers´decks during the 70s/80s and 90s. I love that plane!!
Yes in did
I actually like seeing that kind of flash. It makes good scratch building material or shims for filling small gaps!
Great idea
Never thought of that 👌👍👌

Love the S-3, I have two in my stash. Used to see them all of the time here around San Diego!
👌
Looking forward to Part II! 👏👏👏
Thank you 👍
Woah, great detailing with the maps!
Thank you
Wow, so much Aftermarket Parts. I Think its worth it! ✌ The Cockpit looks awesome. Greetings BEN
Cheers buddy 👍
Fantastic build mate- great video and what a great plane. Thank you for sharing 👍🏻
Thanks 👍
Great work so far, miss seeing these hoovers in service! 🤙🏻
Nice 👍
Thank you

It must be great to work on the ship....you are lucky
Yesss!! This is one of my favorite aircraft. Looking forward to seeing how you approach it!
Thank you 👍
Really nice start.....great use of resin enhancement. Enjoyed this part and look forward to the next.
Thank you
Beautiful as always Peri !!
Thank you 🤗
Great work once again mate, I along with others look forward to more updates very soon.
Thank you 👌
Great model subject, coming along nicely!

You weren't joking about the flash, wow!
🤣
Μπράβο!! Πολύ ωραία κατασκευή!!!Περιμένω το part 2
Σε ευχαριστώ 👍
Eagerly awaiting on part 2
I am away on business so I will finish when I get back
Wow great stuff. I have the same cockpit and folded wings set for my upcoming S-3 build. Going to use the TwoBobs Santa Clause decals on my build.
The resin detail is great
👍
Never knew it had 4 seats? Cant wait for the end result, but like your other builds, its gonna be good!
Thank you
Nice done! Interesting plane, interesting kit, interesting way to final result. All the best for You! ;)

Peri's is educational too.
After all these years of watching military aircraft, I finally found out this aircraft is not a two seater.
🤣🤣🤣
Πολύ καλό εύγε👌👌👌
Σε ευχαριστώ πολύ φίλε μου 😁👍
Great, now I need a Hoover!
Hoover?
@@PerisModels another nickname for that bird.
Where did you dig that up at? I've been casually searching for the pit and model online
@@TheModelGuy got you
It is a commission build. A client sent it to me
I'll keep an eye out :)
Perfect....... !!!!!!!!! 👍👍
Thank you
Beautiful plane. Good job. It is a pity that only the rear ejection seats will be almost invisible.
Unfortunately you cannot see them.....
At least it's there 🤗🤗
Πολύ όμορφη δουλειά Περικλή. Σου έχω στείλει στο Ελληνικό φόρουμ πμ. Όταν ευκαιρείς, τσέκαρε το. Ευχαριστώ.
Going to have to find a S3 kit somewhere. Great subject.

I have this same kit, I bought years ago.....

Black dog is a very good kit
Unfortunately nobody makes inket
Great job I’m adding this to my build list now-thanks-why did you choose the epoxy over super glue for the resin? Nice change up
Thank you
The epoxy is stronger and the wings are heavy
That makes sense
Love your video of one of my favorite post WWII aircraft.
I am looking for a nice airbrush.
Can you tell what brand/model you use?
Thanks.
Thank you
I am using infinity 2in 1
How did you find the aftermarket decals? I'm looking for some lovis ones but the seller warns how brittle the aeromaster ones are
Not the best to be honest
Very brital
Hi! Nice work as usual. We waiting the next chapter. I have a question: what kind of paper or guide you use for rescribing panels lines? Thanks.
Bests regards. Cédric from France.
Usually I follow the kit lines or photos online
Классно!
Thank you 👌
Not so long ago I watched your channel, I like how you approach your work.
@@user-nj4hw9oi3p thank you my friend
Hi just discovered your channel a quick question if I may about a previous model the tomcatters ,when you weather the model with the salt technic do you do the underside ??
Noninvasive didn't do it as you will not see it 🤗
@@PerisModels thank you
I always thought the S-3 Viking is a 2 seated aircraft just like the A-6 Intruder
The other 2 are hiding 😁😁😁
Why did you opt not to open up the weapons bay?
I believe this kit includes some torpedoes for it.
The customer wants closed
@@PerisModels Oh I see, a commission build.
Yeah Ive done a few of them over the years. Some can be quite constrictive :(
What did you use as filler (min 12 aprox.)? Why?
Super glue as it makes easier ti scribe later
It doesn't shrink as a normal filler do
How can i order for this kit pls
What do you mean?
Order for me to make you one? Or you to buy just the kit?
how many models do you have? i have alot i built a Mig 29 today and a AH 1 super cobra yesterday
All of these are already sold
@@PerisModels ok, can you sell them for alot?
@@lame4458 I do commission builds if you are interested
@@PerisModels i had an idea of doing something like that but i dont have much skill in building ive improved but i dont think i am good anough
@@PerisModels also do you have any tips to building model you should make a model tips vid ill see if u have one
Where are the pedals and flystick?
