US Navy Sikorsky SH-3A Sea King Helicopter – HS-1 “Seahorses”, USS Hancock (CV-19) (1:72 Scale)

We’ve learned that Legion Models plans on tackling the Sikorsky SH-3 Sea King as the basis for its next helicopter subject. Its been reported that six different models will be offered although thus far only information pertaining to three models have been unearthed. While the three may look similar in appearance, each is based upon a different helicopter squadron and naturally a different seaborne platform upon which they operated.

Near as we can tell, all three shown here are expected in early 2026 and its quite possible the remaining three will face a delayed takeoff thereby hitting the streets mid year. We will certainly post information about the second trio of SH-3s as soon as we learn of their existence.

We’ve listed all three helos in our Legion rotorcraft section and are now accepting pre-orders.

Update: We’ve learned that LEG14055LE will be available in extremely limited numbers, although no reason was given for its shortfall in availability. Its doubtful that we will list it on any of our marketplace sites and it will probably sell out prior to its arrival once word spreads regarding its availability. So, if you want one, we advise submitting a pre-order ASAP.
