CH53E 1/72 scale model

That model is actually out of production for the last couple of years. It does pop up on Ebay from time to time though. There is actually one there now fro only about $10.

Good luck.

Edit: Actually, as I look closer, looks like you are the bidder on this. Could be wrong, but how many people have the login name of usmcairwinger?

Well, whomever gets it, there's an MH-53E photo etched set over on ebay too!

Best of luck!

By the way guys is this kit the best one on the market in this scale?

Which company produces the best CH-53 in 1/48?


Thanks
Andy

Does anyone even make a 1/48 CH-53? I think there was talk of one but it fell thru. Not sure there
Frank, thanks for the heads-up! I've been looking for a MH-53 PE set since Squadron dropped them from their catalog this year!

Sgt Gump, best of luck finding a "true" CH-53E! From what I've heard, most of the -E kits need some major work to be accurate. I may end up doing one down the line. Good thing for monkey belts or my butt would have been done for off Camp Schwab in '86![:0] - Calvin

Oh ya, man! I know that Revell made them for sure....

Think maybe some other company took a chance....

Calvin,

Revell Germany made a "G" model "53" in 1/48 scale, in several different versions.


There's one on Ebay, with a Pave Low conversion set:

I have the UN version of this.

Take care,

No need going to "Evilbay". The 1/48 CH-53GS/G kit is still listed in Revell's catalog.

No one makes a 1/48 CH-53E. The Revell CH-53G can be made into a decent CH-53D.

Sgt Gump,

Sorry, I had one spare 1/72 Revell CH-53E that I sent to LCpl Holdren in Iraq a couple weeks back.

Sgt Gump,

Are you part of the "Screw Crew"?

chair from the detail.
