HMH Publications DH-035 Sikorsky/Westland Sea King - Aircraft In Detail (English Version) is an exclusive reference book essential for aviation modelers interested in the multi-role Sea King helicopter. This publication by HMH Publications offers unique, richly illustrated documentation of the iconic helicopter in service with, among others, the USA, United Kingdom, Germany, Norway, India, and Canada, used from the late 1960s—mainly during the Cold War, up to modern times. The Sikorsky/Westland Sea King has found applications in search and rescue (SAR) missions, anti-submarine warfare (ASW), transport, as well as special and combat operations worldwide.

The book contains hundreds of top-quality, full-color photographs depicting both the helicopter’s exterior profiles and detailed views of the cockpit interior, avionics, rotor systems, propulsion, armament, as well as service bays and specialist mission equipment. The photos illustrate different variants and paint schemes of Sea Kings operating in combat conditions, during exercises, or rescue missions, enabling precise reproduction of both the appearance and configuration of a model. The extensive technical documentation makes this publication indispensable for building scale plastic models in 1/72, 1/48, and 1/32.
