1:48 SH-3H Seaking SH-3H Seaking

The real subject

The Sikorsky SH-3 Sea King is an American carrier helicopter that from the early 1960s became the mainstay of the anti-submarine protection of US Navy task forces. You can tell it by the boat-shaped lower fuselage, which allowed it to make an emergency landing on water, and by the folding rotor blades, thanks to which it took up less room on deck. The SH-3H version was a late multi-purpose fit in which further patrol duties were added to the original anti-submarine role.

What the sheet offers

This is a decal sheet in 1:48 scale on the subject of the SH-3H helicopter. It serves to give a finished and painted model one particular identity, that is, codes, national insignia and technical lettering. The exact scope of the sheet, the number of marking variants offered and the machines they belong to are given in the instructions enclosed with the sheet.

Application tips

The area under the decal should be smooth and glossy, or matte edges will appear around the carrier film. Before applying them, check in the instructions whether the elements go on by the wet method or are self-adhesive; the procedure differs between lines and they cannot be mixed. Cut the individual elements out close to the motif so that the carrier film is as small as possible. On broken-up areas press the element down carefully with a cotton swab. Once fully dry, seal the model with a matte or satin clear coat, which beds the edges into the surface and protects them at the same time.
