1/48 SH-3H Seaking (Hasegawa 1:48 Aircraft Series PT1)

The Sikorsky SH-3H Sea King is a US Navy anti-submarine helicopter. It is a large twin-engine turbine helicopter that was adopted as a successor to the HSS-1 helicopter that the Navy had been using until then. Since the SH-3H Sea King was developed as a carrier-based aircraft, the five main rotor blades are designed to fold automatically, and the tail boom of the tail rotor also has a folding mechanism. The fuselage of the SH-3H Sea King, which mainly operates over the sea, has a watertight boat-type semi-monocoque structure, and in combination with the auxiliary floats on the sides of the fuselage, it enables good water landing performance. The engine is equipped with two T-58 turboshaft engines in parallel, which ensures high power output and high safety in the event of engine trouble. The anti-submarine equipment is the latest in anti-submarine equipment, such as MAD birds and sonobuoys. It is also used as a rescue aircraft when fighter planes are taking off from the aircraft carrier, and is also used as a transport aircraft, making it a versatile aircraft.
