Scale and Subject

This 1/72 scale diecast model reproduces the Sikorsky SH-3H Sea King helicopter marked 149713/NK 610 from Helicopter Anti-Submarine Squadron 8, the Eightballers, aboard USS Independence (CV-62) during the 1990s. It is made for adult collectors and military-history enthusiasts who want a true-to-scale replica with detailed exterior features. The model comes in manufacturer's original unopened packaging.

Diecast Construction Limits

The airframe uses diecast metal with some plastic parts to provide a heavy, realistic feel while keeping intricate shapes feasible. An opening side door adds interior access, but the mixed-material build means small antennas, panel lines and access panels are moulded rather than photo-etched. A display stand is included for shelf presentation.

Decisive Specification

The 1/72 scale fixes the model at approximately 9.5 inches long with a 9-inch rotor diameter, determining whether it fits a given display space or matches an existing collection. Buyers who need a larger or smaller scale, or a different squadron marking, will not be served by this specific release.

Questions about this item

Should I choose the 1/72 scale model or a different scale for my collection?

The 1/72 scale measures approximately 9.5 inches long with a 9-inch rotor diameter, making it a substantial display piece that fits standard aviation shelves.

How does the 9.5-inch length translate when the model sits on its display stand?

On the included stand the helicopter reaches roughly 9.5 inches nose-to-tail with a 9-inch rotor span, giving a realistic presence without overwhelming a desk or cabinet.

What does the diecast metal and plastic construction mean for handling and durability?

The mix of diecast metal and plastic parts provides a heavy, realistic feel while the opening side door and detailed panel lines survive regular display handling.
