AFV Club AR14405 1/144 SH-3A/D Sea King

Model Helicopter Kit

The AFV Club 1/144 Sikorsky SH-3A/D Sea King Model Helicopter Kit brings one of the most important naval helicopters in history to a compact display scale. This detailed twin-engine helicopter kit includes two models with options for open or closed rotors, landing gear, tail sections, and side hatches, along with a finely reproduced cockpit, instrument panel, and rear cabin interior. Decal options include U.S. Navy, Royal Canadian Navy, Indian Navy, and Apollo 13 mission markings, allowing builders to recreate several historically significant aircraft.

Developed by Sikorsky and entering service in the early 1960s, the SH-3 Sea King revolutionized naval aviation as one of the first truly amphibious helicopters and became a legendary platform for anti-submarine warfare, search and rescue, transport, and recovery missions. The type gained worldwide recognition for its role in recovering astronauts from the Apollo space program, while also serving for decades with military forces around the globe.
