Dave Roof Posted February 17, 2022 Share Posted February 17, 2022 Just waiting for the quote from Cartograf Lots of changes from the original sheet first released back in 2008! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Loach Driver Posted February 18, 2022 Share Posted February 18, 2022 What is the story behind the green CH-53E? Is it a machine held in reserve for test work or is it an active duty airframe? Would make an interesting model. LD. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tank Posted February 18, 2022 Share Posted February 18, 2022 It appears to be assigned to VMX-1 which is a testing squadron. The colors are interesting that is for sure. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It still has elements of its original green paint scheme and has been used for testing various systems throughout its career. It's currently with HX-21 at Pax. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

kg4kpg Posted April 28, 2022 Share Posted April 28, 2022 Hi Dave. Do you, or have you done HMH-463 for CH-53D in 1/72? Building one for a friend who was in 463 and can’t find anything I can use. Thanks, Chris Quote Link to post Share on other sites
