Print Scale 72-400 Decal Kaman Sea Sprite, Part 1 Scale 1:72 for Helicopter Plastic model kit

Print Scale 72-400 waterslide decals are designed for 1/72 scale helicopter models of the Kaman Sea Sprite (early UH-2A / UH-2B variants) in U.S. Navy service. This sheet provides aircraft-specific identifiers and ship or location references that help complete a carrier-era Sea Sprite build in a neutral, catalog-style format.

The early Sea Sprite family operated in shipboard utility roles, with markings that typically combine bureau numbers, modex-style identifiers, and unit abbreviations. In 1/72 scale, these elements sit on compact fuselage surfaces, so crisp decal placement can significantly affect the finished look.

For modelers, this set is useful when you want a documented early UH-2A/UH-2B subject rather than generic national markings. It is listed as universal for compatible 1/72 Sea Sprite kits. Because small-scale helicopter markings require precise alignment on curved fuselage areas, this set is generally more comfortable for intermediate and advanced builders.

FAQ

Which Sea Sprite versions does this sheet focus on?

This Part 1 sheet covers early Sea Sprite variants UH-2A and UH-2B in 1/72 scale.

What time period do the included marking options represent?

The listed aircraft options are dated from 1964 through 1969, covering shipboard and shore-based U.S. Navy contexts.

Is this set compatible with any 1/72 Sea Sprite kit?

The set is listed as universal. Best results are expected on 1/72 kits that match early UH-2A/UH-2B proportions and typical marking placement.

What helps with applying small helicopter codes on curved fuselage surfaces?

A smooth gloss base coat, careful positioning, and optional decal setting solutions can help reduce silvering and improve conformity over curves and panel lines.
