Yep....my plan was to have the entire Viking series in the same general paint scheme. Unfortunately, I never got them all completed. Can you imagine how hard it's going to be to match that paint? My first Viking kit was the Viking V. I loved flying it on the FSI F7 motor (really slow lift off but reallllllyyyyyy long burn time). But, the motors CATOed more than flew so I was constantly rebuilding it. The last time, I used the tube from a roll of aluminum foil for the main BT. Worked like a charm. Needless to say, I didn't want to paint it since I kept blowing it up. So, it sits with a base coat of white .
