JackMan Posted December 19, 2019 Share Posted December 19, 2019 This is the first Japanese MH-53E Sea Dragon model that I have seen and yours is amazing! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
0viking0 Posted December 19, 2019 Share Posted December 19, 2019 Very nice. That was a lot of work for sure. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mstor Posted December 20, 2019 Share Posted December 20, 2019 Looks real nice, though you should use something other than a white background. The kit almost disappears in some of the pics. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Drifterdon Posted December 20, 2019 Share Posted December 20, 2019 Wow! What an amazing build and a brute of a helo. You did a really superb job. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

spejic Posted December 21, 2019 Share Posted December 21, 2019 This is really amazing. The photo-etch work you did on the tail is really difficult to do and it looks fantastic. Thanks for providing such detailed pictures. It takes real confidence to do that. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

crackerjazz Posted January 19, 2020 Share Posted January 19, 2020 What a fantastic job! Very impressive, deluge! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
picknpluck Posted January 20, 2020 Share Posted January 20, 2020 Wow! I'm looking at this as I contemplate the MH-53E I just bought. Nice job on the rivets! What tool did you use? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dutch Posted January 21, 2020 Share Posted January 21, 2020 (edited) Very nice deluge! I have seen these in person and you have captured it extremely well. Whereas USN & USMC Super Stallions tend to be rather dirty, the Japanaese keep theirs very clean. R/ Dutch Edited January 24, 2020 by Dutch Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Dutch Posted January 25, 2020 Share Posted January 25, 2020 (edited) Well yes! Though nothing so dirty as compared to USN & USMC machines. We called them "Shitters" because of the mess they made. This JMSDF example seems to be returning from a flight and still taxiing in to the flight line. Give the overnight shift a chance and they will have it cleaned up pretty nice! I wonder how their MCH-101 Merlins look? Edited January 25, 2020 by Dutch Quote Link to post Share on other sites
