The
ES-3A Shadow is the EW version of the famous Viking. The kit is a reboxing of
the old ERTL kit. The years have left their mark and several edges were rather
rough. Time for a new tool version perhaps. Anyhow, to help this kit along in
the 21st century I ordered a set from Eduard. That set was three times the price
of the kit itself but well worth it.

Building
the kit was very straightforward. Detail is pretty good however given the age.
The Eduard extras were mainly instrument panels in the cockpit, updates of the
ejector seats, wheel well sides and some tubing, the fans in the engines, the
stairs and lots of little additions on the surface.
