Refinished NCR Viking

[kenstarr]

I'd be lying if I said I wasn't excited about this new acquisition. I picked up this old NCR viking from Matt Steele at a UROC club launch this last Saturday really just for the tubes and parts but I couldn't bring myself to decommission it. I wish I had taken some before pics. It was outfitted with some launch lugs for maybe 3/8" rod so I swapped them out for buttons. I kept the original paint scheme but refreshed the green and orange as it was pretty beat. I upgraded the recovery system from worn elastic but I'll still keep it motor ejection.
Enjoy.
