Just received News from Saúl García re: an Upcoming Release.
This time, it hails from MRC. They are Academy's US distributor.
This is a big (24” from the tip of its main rotor blades to the tip of its tail) 1/48 scale Academy Plastic Model Helicopter. It's the US Marines version of the CH-53E Super Sea Stallion
This 3-engine, seven bladed chopper has interior as well as exterior detail, and can be built with folded or open blades, open or closed tail section, open or closed hatches, doors and rear cargo door. Inlcuded is the expected detailed cockpit, with engraved instruments on the cockpit panels; pilot’s windows, cabin and cargo doors that can be assembled open or closed; and deep inside the cabin there is MRC’s exclusive “second skin” interior walls; the ribs; the padding; the troop seats; and two .50 caliber machine guns. Also, this CH-53E has main rotor grips, lag dampers and swash plate details.
Anticipated MSRP: $90.00USD each Available in the US in April 2006 |
