As I remember it (been a LONG time), the Akela was the same as the Viking. The difference was that the Akela was available through Scouting dealers and came both singly and in 12 packs. The Akela, of course, had a different decal sheet, but was otherwise the same.

Hint #1: Do not use magician's flash paper for recovery wadding!

Hint #2: Clean your shoes after flyin' in that cow pasture - that ain't no dirt clod on the sole!
