YF65_CH53E Posted March 27 Share Posted March 27 Fantastic CH-53E here!! Did you scratch build the GAU-21 RMWS? If you did, darn near perfect my friend!! My first boat squadron as a CH-53E guy was HMM-163(REIN) for Somalia in 1993/1994. My bird was YP-65. So I love me some Evil Eyes. In HMH-462 we had (4) brand new factory fresh CH-53E's. So we painted our Evil Eyes a little different for that float. Here is how our Evil Eyes looked 1993-1994 11th MEU Float. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

YF65_CH53E Posted March 27 Share Posted March 27 (edited) Hell yeah! Semper Fi!! The GAU-21 RMWS is a little near and dear to my heart. I was the program manager for it when I was at MAWTS-1 and later up at NAVAIR when we were testing it and getting it into final production for the fleet. Here's a pic of the prototype system for a congressional visit day at MCAF Quantico. Trying to drum up congressional add money sowe could rapidly deploy the gun to the fleet. Also installed on this PAX bird 163086 was the ballistic floorboard armor.....stuff was a giant PITA. (Jus sayin) (Oh, you can tell its a VIP visit day...notice clean fluightsuit and polish on the ol flight boots....LOL) Don't mean to hijack your thread, its a shoot-hot 53 build Sir.

Scott Smith Posted March 27 Share Posted March 27 Outstanding! Cannot believe this kit hasn’t been rereleased. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jgrease Posted March 28 Share Posted March 28 Great build - I'd love to get my hands on that kit. Like Scott said - I can't believe Academy hasn't re-released it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
YF65_CH53E Posted March 28 Share Posted March 28 I have only seen the MH-53E re-released as of 2023, but no where have I found to buy it. I have not seen the CH-53E anywhere??? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
