This aircraft entered service in the late \u003cstrong\u003e1940s\u003c\/strong\u003e and was widely operated during the \u003cstrong\u003eCold War\u003c\/strong\u003e period – from the Korean War through the late 1970s. The main tasks of the HU-16E were maritime search and rescue (SAR) missions, border patrolling, and transporting crews and cargo to areas inaccessible to conventional aircraft. One of the most notable episodes was its rescue missions in the Pacific and during the Korean War, where HU-16Es saved airmen downed over water.\n  \u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003ch3\u003eTechnical specifications of the model\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cul\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eScale:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1:144\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e high-quality plastic\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCountry of origin of the original:\u003c\/strong\u003e United States (USA)\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eKit contents:\u003c\/strong\u003e sprues with plastic parts to assemble one model, decals\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAdd-ons:\u003c\/strong\u003e no photo-etched parts, no metal or resin upgrades\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRecommended for assembly:\u003c\/strong\u003e model glue and paints (not included)\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCategory:\u003c\/strong\u003e plastic model kit\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003c\/ul\u003e\n  \u003ch3\u003eWho is this product for?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003e\n    Amodel 01415 Hu-16E (1\/144) is particularly recommended for military aviation enthusiasts and collectors of miniature amphibious aircraft from the Cold War era. Thanks to the clear instructions, assembly is straightforward, but due to the small scale and tiny parts, we recommend this set to modelers with an experience level of \u003cstrong\u003e2\/5\u003c\/strong\u003e (intermediate). It is an excellent choice for collectors of rescue and military aircraft series.\n  \u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003ch3\u003eWhy choose this model?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003e\n    The compact 1:144 scale allows you to build a small, yet detailed, model for display in dioramas or in a miniature aircraft collection. Realistically rendered fuselage lines, detailed wings, and decals allow for the recreation of the original color schemes used by American rescue services. Amodel ensures high-quality sprues and easy assembly of parts, providing satisfaction for both hobbyists and advanced modelers.\n  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"A-Model","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54720832766286,"sku":"AM01415","price":17.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0914\/5149\/0638\/files\/f42ca7ef170790aa790dfc6bdb45cf1b.jpg?v=1755507799","url":"https:\/\/plastmodel.de\/en\/products\/33754-amodel-01415-hu-16e-1144","provider":"Plastmodel","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
