Seaking S-61A in 1/48 scale for display

The Hasegawa 09931 set recreates the S-61A Seaking from Shirase Antarctic missions, offering accurate mould lines and mission-specific fittings. This 1/48 plastic kit is aimed at modellers who like clean builds and period liveries.

Fit and finish focus on realistic panel definition and cockpit detail, making the model well suited to a stand or a polar-themed vignette. The assembly rewards patience with a neat display result.

How long does assembly typically take?

Build time varies by skill but expect several evenings for careful assembly and painting. Rushing can lead to fit issues, so allow time for glue and paint to cure.

What adhesives and paints are recommended?

Plastic cement for main joins and cyanoacrylate for small detail work are useful. Use enamel or acrylic hobby paints listed by the kit for accurate colour matching.

Can I display this as part of a diorama?

Yes, the kit suits a small polar diorama or ship deck setting. Consider a simple display base and subtle weathering to convey Antarctic service.
