Print Scale 72-404 Decal Kaman Sea Sprite. Part 2 Scale 1:72 for Helicopter Plastic model kit

Print Scale 72-404 Waterslide Decals are designed for Kaman Sea Sprite helicopter projects in 1/72 scale (also written as 1:72). This Part 2 set covers UH/HH/NUH and test/utility Sea Sprite variants with aircraft numbers, modex codes, and carrier or base identifiers suitable for US Navy helicopter subjects of the late 1960s through the mid-1970s.

The Kaman Sea Sprite family served in shipboard utility and recovery roles, supporting carrier operations and fleet activities. The marking options in this set focus on accurate presentation items such as BuNo-style numbers, tail codes/modex, and unit titles associated with carrier detachments and shore stations.

For modelers, this sheet is useful when you want a Sea Sprite build that looks “in service” with correctly formatted codes and readable identifiers on a compact airframe. The set is listed as universal and can be used with any compatible 1/72 Kaman Sea Sprite plastic model kit. Because rotorcraft markings often require careful placement across doors, cabin panels, and tail surfaces, this set is best suited to intermediate to advanced builders.
