Kitty Hawk 1:48 SH-2F Seasprite Helicopter Plastic Model Kit

The Kaman SH-2F was the platform selected by the US Navy to meet the Light Airborne Multi-Purpose System (LAMPS) requirement which essentially gave non-aviation ships with helidecks a rotary-winged utility aircraft that could conduct anti-submarine warfare (ASW) duties as well. While the US Navy was investing in the new Sikorsky SH-60 Seahawk as its next ASW asset, they also had to develop the LAMPS as the Seahawk was too large to operate from the smaller helidecks aboard destroyers, frigates, etc., until modifications could be made.
