Aquiring a CH-53E kit

Try Ebay or just continue to browse your LHS and you may get lucky in finding a 1/72 Revell/Monogram (Germany) or Italeri kit. A few members have been trying to find this kit. Ridle build his "E" into an great looking bird. Good luck!

Disregard this post. Found my answer when I searched the forum. (I know, I know. Should have done that first.....)

Yea, I'm lookin' for an "E" also.

How much work is there in changing a "D" to an "E"?

I only know of Italeri making a straight CH-53E kit in 1/72 scale, but in all honesty it doesn't do the bird justice to say the least. I was an avionics Tech in Tustin, El Toro, and finally Miramar in HMH-462. Believe me, I am waiting just as impatiently....lol There was a person in the forum who was supposedly going to make a 1/48 and a 1/32 scale CH-53E garage kit, (Nightflight models I believe) but his website has since disappeared off of the map! Most people convert the G model to an E, which for me at my modeling skill level is not very comforting!! Good luck, and Semper Fi!!
