Explore the HSS-1 Seabat: A Pioneer in Anti-Submarine Warfare

The Italeri 1417S model kit captures the essence of the HSS-1 Seabat, a significant helicopter developed by Sikorsky in the mid-1950s. Known for its role in anti-submarine warfare, the Seabat was a staple in the United States Navy's arsenal. This 1/72 scale model offers hobbyists an opportunity to recreate a piece of aviation history with precision and detail.

The HSS-1 Seabat was equipped with advanced anti-submarine technology for its era, including depth charges and torpedoes. Powered by the Wright R-1820 Cyclone piston engine, it could reach speeds up to 200 km/h. The model kit includes a super decal sheet for three versions, allowing builders to customize their display.
