Revell 1/48 HH-53C Super Jolly Green Giant


Recommended Posts

OK ARC,

 

I'm putting a fork in my Jolly Green. This was built mostly OOB with only a couple of small additions. It's painted with MM enamels then weathered with Flory washes and pastels. It's not perfect, but it's a solid 3-footer. It's a beast, and I think it looks cool on my shelf.

Here are a few detail shots:

 

I wrapped a thicker piece of wire in fine wire and put a tie down from my spares box on the end to simulate the hoist assembly.

I found a refueling probe in my spares box and added it to the end of the refueling probe for a little detail.

I made heated and smashed some clear sprue to make some lights for both sponsons and the belly (not shown).

Anyway, thanks for stopping by and taking a look-see. Feel free to share your comments, questions, and criticisms.

 

Cheers!

Three-footer??????????  Man, you are hard on yourself.  You did a great job.  Would love to see that in my display case.  Well done.

Nice work on that.

 

When you write "solid 3 -footer", you much be talking about some smaller distance measurement...

 

Yea!

He meant three scale feet. That is one lovely model of the 53. Especially if one knows about the old-school quality of the kit: Not bad on details but definitely not a "shake and bake" assembly.

The Super Jolly Green Giant saved many a pilot, your model is a fitting memory.
