Trumpeter 04201 1/200 OS2U-1 Kingfisher: Detailed Fleet Spotter Model

This Trumpeter 1/200 OS2U-1 Kingfisher kit recreates a classic shipboard observation aircraft with finely moulded components. The model captures proportions and features that appeal to builders assembling naval collections or stand-alone displays.

Why Model the OS2U-1?

The OS2U-1 served as a reliable spotter and liaison aircraft, and its compact floatplane layout translates well into 1/200 scale. The kit mirrors key design elements so modellers can achieve a recognisable, historically informed miniature.

Tips for Building and Presentation

Yes, the compact 1/200 scale makes the Kingfisher easy to pair with ship models and other seaborne subjects for cohesive display scenes.
Standard plastic model cement or a small amount of CA glue works well for tight joints; use sparingly on delicate parts to avoid fogging or excess residue.
Yes, builders often add light weathering, washes, or small aftermarket details to increase realism. Keep additions in scale to preserve the model's balanced appearance.
