Almost 500 copies of this amphibian were built. They saw extensive service in the
Korean War and in
Viet Nam, primarily in the search-and-rescue role. They were used by the
U.S. Air Force (originally as the
SA-16),
U.S. Navy and
Coast Guard (as the
JR2F and
UF), along with many foreign air forces and civilian operators. This model represent the airplane in flight.
This model is a re-scale from our 1/285 HU-16, some parts have been modified to better fit the new scale.
