Daron Worldwide Trading C4148 HH-3F Pelican Uscg 1/48 AIRCRAFT

The HH-3F "Pelican" is a member of the Sikorsky S-61R family, which are twin-engine helicopters used in transport or search and rescue roles. The Sikorsky S-61R was developed as a derivative of their S-61/SH-3 Sea King model. It features a substantially-revised fuselage with a rear loading ramp, a conventional though water-tight hull instead of the S-61's boat-hull, and retractable tricycle landing gear.

This specific model is the HH-3F Sea King (more commonly known by its nickname "Pelican") and is used by the United States Coast Guard for all-weather air-sea rescue. The Pelican featured a search radar with a nose antenna radome offset to port,and water landing capability.

This handcrafted model is painstakingly built from Philippine mahogany by our skilled craftsmen with a wealth of detail and makes a great gift for any veteran, aviation enthusiast or history buff.
