KITTY HAWK 80122 KAMAN SH-2F SEASPRITE US NAVY ASW /LAMPS HELICOPTER
1/48 SCALE
DESCRIPTION:
The SH-2F entered service in 1973 and the type remained on active duty until 1993 when the Knox-class frigates were also retired, these being the last of the ships that couldn't be modified to support the Seahawk. The SH-2F saw combat in several actions including Operation Desert Storm where it conducted littoral surface warfare actions along with S-3 Vikings where there was no submarine threats to prosecute. The SH-2F was armed with two torpedoes or a variety of guided missiles like the AGM-65 Maverick for surface warfare.
FEATURES:
Until now, the only option for a 1/48 scale SH-2 Seasprite was the old Matchbox kit that has periodically been reissued by Revell AG. Here we have a new-tool SH-2F and out of the box, it looks nice. There are a few bugs here, but nothing that a little work won't solve.
The kit is molded in light gray styrene and presented on six parts trees plus two fuselage halves, one tree of clear parts, and one fret of photo-etched parts.
Among the features and options in this kit:
Nicely detailed flight deck
Positionable cockpit and main cabin doors
Detailed airframe exterior with attention paid to antennas, and photo-etched grilles
Choice of small or large capacity external tanks, or torpedoes
Detailed rotor head
Signature Kaman rotor blade design nicely captured
