1/48 AMT/ERTL S-3A/B Viking with Paragon slats and flaps and CAM decals

Paragon does a slats and flaps set for the Viking and I have used these along with the new decal sheet from CAM decals for VS-21.

This job is fairly straightforward it is just a case of cutting the kit flaps off and replacing them with new interior wing spars and hanging the flaps on, very simple. My method of mounting the flaps is to add four lengths of florists wire to each flap where the screw jacks would be and drill matching holes in the spar, then push the wires into the holes and bend the flap down to the required angle, the holes must be a tight fit though you can then adjust to suit.       

Enjoy the photos.
