                        I hope these pics really do help with Academy's new kit.  I'll do my best to help with whatever questions anyone has.  Soon I will no longer be around these monsters, but I'll get pictures while I can.  I don't know about Papa-Echo's site, I've never been there.  I'll have to check it out.

                        Oh, you know those photos are going to come in handy when the kit rolls out.  Thanks for sharing your expertise with us, I just hope you're ready for the flood of questions that are going to start pouring in as we start to build!

                        Thanks for the pics, those help greatly.  That thing is going to be a beast!  Eduard better be etching away at this moment.  I hope to see one done soon.

                        Hey all,

                        I'm pretty darn excited about Academy's upcoming CH-53E kit in 1/48 scale.  I hope you guys are too.  I've collected some good reference pics that 53E builders may be interested in.   So, you can check them out at

                        http://photobucket.com/albums/v491/ridleusmc/

                        I made my photobucket account public for viewers, but let me know if the link doesn't work.  There are some other pics in there of my models and other misc stuff that you may enjoy.  The account is rated PG in my opinion. 

                        Happy modeling,

                        Chris
