About product

Kaman UH-2A/B Seasprite (1:72, Clear Prop Models)

An injection-molded plastic kit of the American Kaman UH-2A/B Seasprite shipborne helicopter in 1:72 scale from the maker Clear Prop Models. It is a modern, richly detailed kit with fine engraved panel lines and riveting, a well worked cabin and photo-etched parts; it offers decals for several forms. Because of the amount of detail it belongs rather to the more advanced kits in its scale.

The real subject

The Seasprite was a small shipborne helicopter developed by Kaman for the US Navy. It served on multirole duties from the decks of ships, from communications and transport to rescue at sea. The UH-2A version was an early general-purpose transport variant with a turboshaft engine, while the UH-2B version had more limited equipment for flying in good visibility. Its compact dimensions and folding rotor allowed it to operate even from small decks. The type later received a second engine and further modernization, but the early single-engined machines stay characteristic for their slender fuselage.

Building and painting tips

In 1:72 scale work with a sharp knife and thin cement, because the parts are small. Paint the cockpit and the cabin and fit the photo-etch before closing the fuselage, and mask the glazing and glue it on last. Build the rotor head and the blades carefully and symmetrically. For a faithful look choose a naval gray finish and add restrained rubbing and a fine emphasis to the lines.

Who the model is for

  • For collectors of American naval aircraft
  • For anyone interested in shipborne helicopters and their operation from ships
  • For modelers who will appreciate photo-etch and fine detail in 1:72
  • Rather for more experienced builders, because of the amount of detail

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