It was a staple in the Royal Navy Search and Rescue as well as the helicopter in this kit the RAF Search and Rescue Force (SARF) easily identified by its bright yellow livery and served as long as the SARF operated until going under a privatized contract. Unlike the SH-3, the Sea King was developed to operate alone, originally produced for anti-submarine warfare, from these Sea Kings they were updated further to specifically be fitted for duty in Search & Rescue, renamed the Sea King HAR2 and entered service in 1978. The helicopter based RAF Search and Rescue Force was established in 1986, and updated to the HAR3 specifically for this purpose, providing aerial support over the United Kingdom, Cyprus and the Falkland Islands up until 2016. SARF was created as their was a lack of support for downed military aircrews that were ejected or crash-landed from their aircrafts, increasing their survival significantly. Their secondary operations were civilian related as they rescued distressed people from the sea, as well as the mountains and flooded regions.

Es liegen 2 sehr gute Pinsel sowie 6 Farben da bei. Auch eine Tube Poly Cement wurde noch dazu gelegt. Alles in allem ein sehr schöner Bausatz eines Sea Kings ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by G***Y on August 17, 2025* It's a great model. I've been away from modelling for a while and found it quite taxing, but great fun nonetheless. The decals are very delicate, but again maybe that is just me not being used to the more modern ways. It comes with glue, paint and brushes. The brushes and paint are great. I used a liquid glue and discarded the one in the kit. Kept me busy for ages. Full marks. ## Frequently Bought Together - Airfix Starter Gift Set Westland Sea King HAR.3 1:72 Military Helicopter Plastic Model Kit A55307B, Yellow - Tamiya 87038 Extra Thin Cement Glue Fine Tip 40ml - Vallejo - Plastic Putty 20 ml (0.67 fl.oz.) | White, Opaque, Consistent Finish --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.ar/products/474290174-starter-gift-set-westland-sea-king-har-3-1-72](https://www.desertcart.com.ar/products/474290174-starter-gift-set-westland-sea-king-har-3-1-72) --- *Product available on Desertcart Argentina* *Store origin: AR* *Last updated: 2026-09-19*
