                        I have the Marine Corps CH-53 Super Stallion.. I was wondering if anyone makes the Air Force 2 engine version in 1/48? I have read a lot to indicate the conversion is far more complicated than just taking the intake for the third engine off. I know the nose and some other things are very different on current versions, and I also think the overall size is smaller on the Air Force version.

                        Excuse me.. Is that an Uzi?

                        The Revell kit originally dates back to around 1980 or so. It is a nice kit for it's day. I hope that Revell pulls this one out of their archives and reissues it with updates in its various guises, Marine CH-53A and CH-53D, and Air Force HH-53C and MH-53J variants. There are a couple aftermarket sets out there to convert this kit to a Pave Low.
