dangerdan87 Posted May 13, 2019 Share Posted May 13, 2019 Looking for a 1/48 CH-53. Already have the E, would like the G version also. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Stalker6recon Posted May 22, 2019 Share Posted May 22, 2019 You and me both. I have read such great reviews of the Academy CH-53E and it's brother, the MH-53E, I too am looking to buy one. Unfortunately for me, I can't afford to buy for another few months, maybe even then, I won't have the cash. Seems very hard for me to find even $100 for a kit these days. 😟 Gold luck in your quest, Anthony Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dangerdan87 Posted May 22, 2019 Author Share Posted May 22, 2019 I can close my WTB ad. Found a 1/48 CH-53GA for $40. Kind of stoked for the sweet deal Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Is the kit Academy? $40 dollars seems like one of those "if it seems to good to be true, it probably is" kind of things. My next question, do they have more than one?

dangerdan87 Posted May 23, 2019 Author Share Posted May 23, 2019 I don't think Academy made anything in 1/48 other than E variants? This one is a Revell....still hard to find. A GS version sold on Ebay (with aftermarket Cobra Co parts) for $300. Found it on Hobbylink Japan. I was weary...seemed too go to be true. But they said they had exactly 1 ch-53 GA, and thats what I ordered. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Well from what little I know, hobbylinkjapan is a safe online shop to buy from. An way, I will have to look up the Revell kit, I am only familiar with the Academy. Both the CH and MH kits have really good reviews. There are several build logs on this site and others, it truly is a beautiful machine. I have photos from my vacations near MAS Cherry Point, NC. They would fly up and down the coast daily. The photos are buried on one of my many hard drives, but I don't have a working PC at the moment. Anyway, I plan to build a MH towing the sled with a detonation underwater. The new water materials are so real. I only have the dream as of now. If I get the bird, then I will work on getting the supplies to create the underwater blast. Should be fun! Thanks for the information gents, Anthony PS. Is this the kit you ordered?

I am going attempt to convert it the the D version. Edited May 23, 2019 by dangerdan87 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
