RESKIT RSU48-0360 Sea King (6 blades) tail rotor for Airfix & Hasegawa kit (3D printed) 1/48

RESKIT RSU48-0360 Sea King (6 blades) tail rotor is a high-quality modelling accessory designed especially for Westland Sea King helicopter kits in 1/48 scale by Airfix and Hasegawa. The product is manufactured using advanced 3D printing technology, ensuring exceptional detail accuracy and realistically thin rotor blade profiles – an effect difficult to achieve in traditional plastic sets.

The Westland Sea King is a British modification of the American Sikorsky SH-3 Sea King, widely used by the Royal Navy and many armed forces around the world – including Germany, India, Norway, Australia, and others. The six-bladed tail rotor was characteristic for later variants of the helicopter, such as the HAS.6 (anti-submarine warfare), AEW.2 (airborne early warning), HAR.5 and rescue-configured HU.5, as well as export versions adapted to the requirements of foreign users. Sea Kings upgraded with this rotor served from the 1980s to the early 21st century – primarily during the Cold War era and in modern local conflicts, such as NATO operations in the Balkans or rescue missions on the North and Atlantic seas.

• Scale: 1/48 – compatible with Airfix and Hasegawa kits
• Material: high-quality 3D printed resin – precise details, perfectly smooth surface, resistance to deformation

This product is especially recommended for experienced modellers and collectors who value high historical accuracy and maximum realism of details, whether converting base kits or creating impressive dioramas and aircraft carrier displays. The assembly difficulty is rated at 2/5 – requiring precision and care during installation and fitting to the model fuselage, but should not pose problems for those familiar with resin or 3D printed parts.

If you want to enhance and increase the historical accuracy of your Sea King model – this set is the perfect choice.
