Cyber Hobby 5104 Sea King AEW.2 Falklands War (1/72)

Cyber Hobby 5104 Sea King AEW.2 Falklands War (1/72) is a precision plastic model kit that replicates the famous British airborne early warning helicopter Sea King AEW.2 used during the 1982 Falklands War. The model is made in the popular 1/72 scale, which offers an excellent balance between detail and size, making it ideal for home model collections and historical dioramas.

The Sea King AEW.2 is a variant of the Sea King helicopter developed after the Falklands War in response to the British Armed Forces' lack of early warning against low-flying enemy aircraft. The original Sea King helicopters were converted to the AEW.2 standard by installing the Searchwater radar—an outcome of the UK's rapid modernization program. This helicopter played a key role in providing informational superiority during operations in the South Atlantic.

The Cyber Hobby 5104 plastic model faithfully reproduces the external details and characteristic AEW.2 equipment, such as the large radar dome under the starboard side, modified windows, and antennas on the fuselage. The product is designed for self-assembly and painting—the kit does not include glue, paints, or tools. All parts are made from high-quality plastic, ensuring ease of processing and reliable fit.
