[About actual machine]
- SH - 3 Sea King, which was developed by Sikorsky in the USA and started production in 1961, was initially used by the US Navy for anti - battle mission tasks.
- Seking's performance, also known as a helicopter with the world's first landing ability, got a high reputation and was deployed around the world, including Japan.
- In Japan licensed by Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Ltd., HSS-2 was deployed as the anti-submarine patrol type of the Maritime Self-Defense Force. In addition, the S-61 was also produced as a transport machine type that changed the equipment.
- In the Maritime Self - Defense Force from 1965 to 2008, S - 61A and A1 were equipped and used for support of the Antarctic observation team.
- Participated in the Antarctic observation team as a shipboard machine of the Antarctic observation vessel first generation [Shirase]. It was active in transporting goods and others.
[About the kit]
- Helicopter operated by the Maritime Self - Defense Force, S - 61A Antarctic Observation Support Machine, First generation [Shirase] Reproduce the type of in - flight machine.
- Parts necessary for reproducing the Antarctic observation support machine of the Sea King Family's Maritime Self Defense Force are also precisely modeled to the details.
- For example, four mirrors that are attached around the cockpit of the nose and support the field of view of the pilot are reproduced.
- In addition, side windows are added to the body composed of two parts on the left and right. In addition, on the inside it expresses indoor details sculpture, it is a real finish.
- You can also assemble the cabin door with the door opened, so I'm looking forward to trying to arm the interior assembly.
- In addition, we modeled the search light attached to the side of the aircraft. It would also be interesting to compare with other Sea King Families that make the differences of the Maritime Self Defense Force S - 61A on the same scale.
- Marking is made of high-quality Italian cult grade company and sets marking of S-61 of the Maritime Self-Defense Force Shirasee Flight Department installed in Antarctic observation boat [Shirase].
- I am looking forward to the coloring which painted the nose in orange, as well as the mascot mark which treated the penguin.
