Guys, Revell CH-53GS to CH-53D, is it possible?

He's right, my model is a RH-53D not a CH-53D, my mistake. Like he said the CH doesn't have a refueling probe. The things you learn here!

Hello Helo_Joe, The picture you included as_ gray_/green/black might need to be confirmed before you actually paint. I've had Crew Chiefs tell me as well as show pictures and they stated it was more of a blue. I tried to build a kit for a fellow -53 bubba and I used..duck egg blue.. that still needed to be lightened.

The model picture that was sent to you is actually of a Navy hand-me-down, it's a RH-53D in Marine colors. If you really want to make that kit into a true CH bear in mind you'll need to remove the refueling probe mount dimple off of the pilot's lower chin bubble window.. as a starter. How you don't mind this input, if I can help..holler. Brian

Nice looking 53.

Paint it gray then put Marine decals on it. that is what I did. HMH-463 ,HMH-362 and HMH-363 are the Squadrons.
