5.0 out of 5 stars The only reference book of S3B Viking I've ever heard, March 25, 2000

By	Nuwat Chanthaworn (Bangkok, Thailand) - See all my reviews

This book provides you over 80 color photos and details which guide you to know about everything on this aircraft which can make you feel like a pilot who checks his aircraft before flight. With the details provided in this book you can build and modify your model more realistic than everybody in the world, but I suggest you to select 1/48 rather than 1/72 which is too small.

3.0 out of 5 stars Not-too-shabby look at the Viking, July 22, 2008

By	Raijer (San Diego, CA USA) - See all my reviews

I enjoyed the book. The details and photography were impressive. I was very disappointed that there were absolutely no pics of the SENSO or TACCO station though.
