Scale & subject

This is a 1/72 scale diecast model of the Sikorsky SH-3G Sea King helicopter marked 148987/AB 011. It represents the Fleet Angels of Helicopter Combat Support Squadron 2 aboard USS John F Kennedy (CVA-67) during the 1970s. The replica is aimed at adult collectors and military-history enthusiasts who want an accurate display piece.

Diecast construction limits

The model uses diecast metal with some plastic parts to give a heavy, realistic feel while keeping fine details intact. An opening side door adds interior interest but also creates a fragile hinge point that can loosen with repeated handling. The included display stand supports the airframe securely, yet the long rotor span of 9 inches demands a wide, stable shelf to avoid accidental knocks.

Decisive specification

The 1/72 scale fixes the overall length at approximately 9.5 inches and the rotor diameter at 9 inches, determining whether the model fits your available display space. Collectors needing a larger or smaller footprint should look at a different scale, because this size is not adjustable.
