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.

 

F is for FIRE, That burns down the whole town!

U is for URANIUM... BOMBS!

N is for NO SURVIVORS...

Revell (of Germany) does the CH-53GS/G which is twin engine, article here on basic conversion needed

Kit suggestions.. CH-53 Pave Low 1/48?

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?
