This is Hasegawa's 1/72 Viking. I believe the mold has been around for a while, but the kit with these marking has only been around a few years. The kit comes with a buddy buddy in-flight refueling pod. I decided to use the kit's CAG markings.

I bought the wood basae at an art store and replicated the anti-slip coating with Mr. Surfacer 500. Tamiya now makes Diorama Texture Paint "Pavement Effect." It comes in a 100 ml bottle and even comes in Dark Grey! This is perfect for flight decks and will now be using it for future projects. I painted teh deck with Tamiya Dark Grey and White. The foul lines are painted red and white. Note: when painting the fould lines make them no wider than the tie down pads. Many inexperienced modelers paint these way out of scale. The metal tie-downs chains are from White Ensign Models.
