Hasegawa 02394 1/72 SOC-3 Seagull Seaplane Description

The Hasegawa 02394 kit models the SOC-3 Seagull, a floatplane that carried out reconnaissance and spotting duties from battleships in the Second World War. The kit reflects the aircraft commonly linked with ships such as the USS Pennsylvania.

Preserving Naval Reconnaissance Design

This 1/72 scale rendition focuses on the Seagull's operational form, including its distinct float arrangement and structural lines. It gives modellers a compact way to represent early naval air observation technology.

Modelling Experience and Presentation Tips

The parts are finely detailed and the assembly benefits from steady hands and accurate painting. Finished models look effective on standalone displays or grouped with contemporary vessels and aircraft from the same period.

Specifications

  • Scale: 1/72
  • Material: PS Plastic
  • Assembly Type: Glue required
  • Paint: Required to achieve authentic finish
Moulding captures main surface detail and the float geometry well for 1/72 scale. Fine rigging and cockpit detail may need extra care or aftermarket parts for maximum realism.
Yes, light weathering with washes and dry-brushing enhances surface definition and gives a more lived-in look suitable for operational naval aircraft.
The 1/72 scale makes it compatible as an accessory to similarly scaled naval models or as a standalone piece in a WWII aviation collection.
