Oh just go pick up an Academy Navy CH-46 for the SEALS. Or Italeri Seahawk. Or with that -53E you can build a nice Marine Corps TRAP Team bird like was used to recover Cpt O'Grady in Bosnia.

You are right.....it is just that the MRC kit is So good! Maybe I should make a "sealow" for Navy seals! lol!

Use the Revell kit, the Academy kit is the three engined variant. The Pave Low is based off of the two engined CH/HH-53. The-53E has significant differences structurally: 3 engines, 7 bladed vs 5 bladed main rotor, canted tail, etc.

I have both kits in 48th scale. The structural differences in the body ar significant. I know the MRC kit is the "sea stallion" but the revell kit appears more structually correct to the Air Force pavelow. I have the external cobra kit set and will get the weapons package when chris reopens cobra company. Which kit would you use? thanks!
