Wild Wallyum Will AKA Bill Eichelberger built this "Estes" kit without telling us and doing a build thread without telling us! Shame on you Bill! Not sharing on such a build. Gees, don't you want to share?
Bill, I'm just raggin' on you in fun. Please don't take it personal, OK!

Sorry, I was too worn out by the complicated build process. If anyone needs me I'll be having a Valium and a nap to recover.
I think this kit was just available in the last few Centuri catalogs. It replaced the Vector V and recycled everything but the transition, the lower body tube and the centering rings. So, we trade the Vector V for the Viking? Am I the only one who thinks that sounds like a lousy trade? Somewhere in the Old Rockets file section is a plan to turn the Viking back into a Vector V. That was how I built my first VV clone back in 2004.
