It's typical Italieri in that it build up nice with a little TLC. Markings consist of a USAF HH-53 and an solid brown Israeli AF CH-53. Interior detail is sparse but I've seen some cool things done with the interior. There are some minor gaps, but overall I wouldn't say it's a bad kit.

I have one in my to-be-built pile.  I agree with Trigger.  Detail is sparse, but has plenty of potential for detailing.  The rotor heads both look a little lacking in detail.  It's a pretty basic kit, but some research and TLC could turn it into a nice model. 

Semper Fi,

It's a average Italeri helo kit.  A little sparese interior, (eduard has a inside kit I think so), if not, close the doors and use a home made belts, is all.
The exterior is pretty nice for me, but again is you have a updgrade in detail use the eduard kit.  I bought the eduard kit only for exterior.
for me..it's a nice kit
