Trumpeter 04201 - 1/200 OS2U-1 Kingfisher: Precision Naval Floatplane Model

The Trumpeter 1/200 OS2U-1 Kingfisher kit reproduces a classic naval spotter plane with attention to the small-scale details that matter to serious modelers. The kit reflects the Kingfisher's role aboard warships and offers a compact, accurate representation for display or diorama work.

Operational Role and Modelling Interest

The OS2U-1 Kingfisher served as a reconnaissance and artillery-spotting floatplane, and its simple radial engine and float configuration are faithfully captured in this scale. Builders can recreate the aircrafts distinctive silhouette and service-era look using the kit parts and included marking options.

Building Experience and Display Potential

Suitable for modellers with basic to intermediate skills, the kit balances clear detail with straightforward assembly. Finished models make attractive shelf displays or additions to larger naval collections thanks to accurate proportions and small-scale detail.

Specifications

  • Scale: 1/200

The kit is approachable for newcomers who are comfortable with basic modelling tools. Small parts and fine detail benefit from steady hands and simple tools like tweezers and a hobby knife.
Yes, the kit includes decals to reproduce authentic markings, allowing builders to match service-era liveries and add finishing detail to the model.
Thin acrylic or enamel paints applied in light coats work well at this scale, and model cement or CA glue can be used carefully for plastic joints. Use a primer on small details to improve paint adhesion.
