HSS-1 Seabat Background and Model Overview

The Italeri 1417S kit replicates the Sikorsky HSS-1 Seabat, developed in the mid-1950s and widely used by the United States Navy in anti-submarine roles. In 1/72 scale the model aims to reflect the Seabat's silhouette and key surface detail for display collectors and modellers alike.

The operational HSS-1 carried anti-submarine ordnance such as depth charges and torpedoes and was powered by the Wright R-1820 Cyclone piston engine, achieving speeds close to 200 km/h. The kit includes a super decal sheet with three marking options to suit different historical liveries.

Which paints should I use for authentic finishes?

Refer to the kit instructions and period reference photos for the correct US Navy palettes. Enamel or acrylic model paints both work well when applied in thin coats and weathered subtly.

Can I order spare decals or parts if needed?

The kit includes a comprehensive decal sheet for three schemes, but for spares or replacements contact your retailer or Italeri customer support to check availability.
