About product

Sikorsky S-58 in Japan Coast Guard colors 1:144 (Mark I Models)

An injection-molded plastic kit of the piston-engine Sikorsky S-58 helicopter in 1:144 scale from Mark I Models. The small scale means a compact parts count, clear elements for the glazing of the cabin and the fuselage, and decals for the Japanese coast guard configuration. The model is meant to be glued and painted.

The real subject

The Sikorsky S-58 is the civil and rescue variant of a classic piston-engine helicopter with the engine set high in the nose and a roomy fuselage. In Japanese coast guard colors it served for search and rescue work, coastal patrol and transport. Its conspicuous high-visibility finish and reliable structure made it an easily recognized machine in this service.

Building and painting tips

In 1:144 scale, take care to sand the mating surfaces carefully and to glue the small parts gently. Glue the clear elements with a cement that leaves no fogging. Apply the bold high-visibility shades with an airbrush over a primer and settle the decals on a gloss varnish. Fit the rotor and the landing gear only after the fuselage has been painted.

Who the model is for

  • For collectors of helicopters in the small 1:144 scale
  • For modelers with a taste for rescue and civil machines
  • For fans of Japanese aviation

The model is supplied unassembled and unpainted. Glue, paints and accessories are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.
