Azur A104 Supermarine Sea Otter Civilian Service (1/72)

The Azur A104 Supermarine Sea Otter Civilian Service model in 1:72 scale is a high-quality plastic assembly kit designed for enthusiasts of historical aviation and modelers who value precision in replicating details. The Supermarine Sea Otter is a British amphibious aircraft developed by the Supermarine company during World War II, serving primarily as a rescue and observation aircraft. This version focuses on the civilian applications of the design—after the war, these aircraft were adapted for civil aviation, where they were used as transport, rescue, or communication planes in aquatic regions.

The Supermarine Sea Otter was used by the Royal Air Force and Royal Navy, and in civilian colors, it could be seen in the United Kingdom as well as in countries of the British Empire. The aircraft was in operation from the 1940s, mainly during World War II and just after it, until the early 1950s. The civilian version gained popularity due to its water takeoff and landing capabilities; it was invaluable for delivering supplies to islands, evacuating the wounded, or in SAR (Search and Rescue) missions.
