1/48 Revell CH-53C to HMH-463 CH-53D


Recommended Posts

1/48 4542 Revell Sikorksy HH-53C Vietnam Rescue with Jeep and 105mm Gun Into 

 

For the last couple of months I have worked on this helicopter for a buddy, well a trade with a buddy at least. I traded this kit for a new display case in my house, only sad I won’t be displaying this piece here at home.

 

The helicopter depicted is CH-53D BuNo 157736 which my buddy flew in Iraq. The interior was completed from Evergreen and the rest of the detail is scratch built, resin, or photo etch from other 1/48 helicopters.

 

Decals MAW # 48010 CH-53D/CH-53E heavy Haulers and some resized and made at home with an ink jet printer.

 

Paint is Vallejo and Mig....

 

I Hope you enjoy this helicopter!!

I know this is four years old, however I came across it looking at photos on google. Who the holy F did you make that for? That was my helicopter! BuNo, side number, and with Pegasus! 

Croaker53, 

 

What years were you in 463?  I flew with all the D-squadrons when they were in Kaneohe.  I was with MAWTS-1 from 1997-2003, would come out and do TERFI, NSI, stuff all the time.

 

Semper Fi,
