ARGHHHHHHH!!!!!!!

The pic shows the HOOK built as the D again! What gives!!!!

I can't stand it!!!!! ......Unless thats just the parts the builder was given from the factory?

Crapy build up from what I can see. I hope the top portion of the rear cargo door swings up and in......looks like they got the ramp details correct.

That MRC kit looks pretty darn cool too!

Straighten up and fly right.....

cool, all I need in 1/48 for my all MARINE AIR collection is a $hitter,

By a $hitter, if you mean a CH-47 Chinook, USMC doesn't/didn't use them. CH-47 is an Army only helo.

If you mean a CH-46 Sea Knight, Academy has one in 1/48 scale.

All Marines know the CH-53E as the *hitter. The nickname stems from the black smoke trail that follows it. Hardly anyone calls it the Sea Stallion or Super Stallion. The actual spelling of sh*tter has been discouraged on this forum on in the past.

O.K., never heard it called that. I thought he was referring to the Chinook's nickname of the $hithook.

Very interesting indeed! I'll be looking for more sightings of that 1/48 -53E, that's for sure. Thanks for the link.

A day in the Corps is like a day on the farm; every meal is a banquet, every paycheck a fortune, every formation a parade... The Marine Corps is a department of the Navy? Yeah...The Men's Department.
