1/72 Clear Prop UH-2 A/B Seasprite Resin Exhaust Overview

The 1/72 Clear Prop UH-2 A/B Seasprite Resin Exhaust (item A72021) is a precision resin aftermarket upgrade designed specifically for the Clear Prop kit CP72002, providing modelers with highly detailed replacement exhaust components that surpass injection-molded kit parts. This aftermarket exhaust set features crisp resin casting with minimal cleanup required, accurate representation of the UH-2 Seasprite's distinctive turbine exhaust configuration, detailed internal and external surfaces with proper exhaust nozzle detail, superior detail surpassing injection-molded kit parts, and direct replacement fit for Clear Prop UH-2 A/B Seasprite kits.

UH-2 Seasprite Exhaust Details

The Kaman UH-2 Seasprite utility helicopter featured distinctive turbine exhaust stacks that this set accurately replicates:

• Engine Configuration: Single General Electric T58 turboshaft engine with characteristic exhaust arrangement
• Exhaust Stacks: Turbine exhaust with heat shield and deflector typical of naval helicopters
• Historical Accuracy: Based on photographic evidence of UH-2A and UH-2B variants from the 1960s-1970s
• Scale Fidelity: Proper diameter and configuration for 1/72 scale with detailed exhaust openings

Resin Aftermarket Exhaust Advantages

Clear Prop's resin exhaust sets offer significant improvements over kit-supplied plastic exhausts. The resin casting captures finer detail than injection molding allows including exhaust nozzle detail and heat shield texture, the one-piece construction eliminates visible seams on complex curved surfaces, the crisp detail accepts paint and weathering more realistically, and the material provides superior surface texture for metallic finishes.

Installation and Finishing

For optimal results with this UH-2 Seasprite exhaust set, remove casting blocks with sharp hobby knife or razor saw, clean mating surfaces with fine sandpaper (600-800 grit), test-fit exhausts to fuselage before painting, prime with gray or white primer to reveal any surface imperfections, paint with metallic steel or burnt metal colors, and apply dark washes and weathering to simulate exhaust staining and heat discoloration.
