This Hasegawa 02394 kit recreates the SOC-3 Seagull, a shipborne reconnaissance seaplane used around World War II. The parts provide a faithful small-scale interpretation of the floatplane that operated from battleships like the USS Pennsylvania, letting modellers explore its naval role and silhouette.
At 1/72 scale the model balances display presence and shelf space. The kit highlights the Seagull's floatplane configuration and structural details so builders can appreciate how it performed observation and spotting duties for fleet commanders.
Parts are precision-moulded and require careful assembly and painting to reach a realistic finish. The kit suits modellers who enjoy glue-and-paint projects and is ideal to pair with 1/700 to 1/350 battleship dioramas for naval display scenes.
