This 1/48 Academy kit allows 2 option: grey scheme or green/grey camo scheme, which came out to the market in '05 IIRC.

This one is build by another modeller and took several months to complete. Eventhough the kit parts are good, more could have been done by adding modification kits such as avionics bay, rotor blades' pins & wirings, engines' internal parts, etc at extra costs.









Close-ups...

beautiful and i think its appearance in Transformers movie (Blackout) make this selling like hotcakes... :D

and i think the last picture got some seamlines.. or its suppose to be there.. :D

got picture of the interior since i saw the ramp in open position :D

i have this but got no courage to start it yet. :lol:

kuman

wowwwwwwwwwww :o very very nice. Can understand why this took months to complete. Very fun to build seing that this is a complex build with many parts

Decepticons transformmmmm :P

Nothing special about the interior...its plainly based on what was already supplied by the kit.






This is how the actual CH-53E interior looks like...see the ceiling with exposed hydraulic lines, wiring, etc

Woah!! I love the folding blades.

yup.

the folding blade is the main attraction for me to get this chopper last time and also as i mentioned earlier after seeing Blackout in TF movie :D

from what i read the folded-blade support is not enough OOB.. so to make it complete ones need to make a few more...

nevermind the interior.. it will not be that obvious anyway :P

Love this heli too, wish i could have chance to get 1 in future.

AWESOME WORK!

Hopefully they will come out with a MH-53J so can do Blackout from Transformers.

Nice finishing, lovely weathering. Just minor silvering on decals and mould lines at the rotor require some clean up.

Just my 2 cents.

Nice work.
