Airfix A11012 1/48 Westland Sea King HAR.3

One of the most significant aircraft of the post-war era, even though Britain’s Westland Helicopters eventually produced well over 300 of the American Sea Kings, only a small number of these machines became some of the highest profile aircraft to ever serve within Britain’s armed forces. The robust and stable Sea King was an ideal aircraft with which to undertake the specialist Search & Rescue role across the UK, and Westland developed a number of Sea Kings specifically for this task.

Designated HAR.3 and produced for the Royal Air Force, Search & Rescue Sea Kings were fitted with highly advanced search and navigation equipment and were capable of operating in this demanding role in all weather and at any time, night or day.

Always on station in times of need, these yellow Sea Kings became some of the most famous and best loved aircraft in Britain’s skies, with crews never in any doubt as to the affection in which they and their aircraft were held by the public.

If this is a machine you've admired for some time, then the Airfix Westland Sea King model kit must be destined for your workbench.

This military aircraft kit is in 1:48 scale, allowing you to build a detailed replica of an icon.
