Academy CH-53E US Marines 1/48 Scale Full Build

Beautiful build

Helicopter soundproofing blankets can have a yellow color as the cloth fibers start to fray and show through the grey. Also, sometimes they are spray painted grey at the Depot Level repair shop.

Was it just the camera or did the “MARINES” decal disappear into the paint?

Stunning well done

Très belle réussite , beau camo ...

Awesome build my friend keep up the good work

No attempt to stress the fuselage sides. You kept the panel lines and recessed rivet detail. None of this existed on the actual airframe. Maybe you can get away with that in smaller scales, but in quarter scale it doesn’t work. What a waste of an effort.

What a monster!

Hey when did you start making models?

I think that this is fantastic. Well done. It looks amazing!

This was such a gratifying video thanks for posting

watched it again and still stunning 🙂

Thats a great job you did on that. I have the mine hunter MH-53E 1/48 scale. The only thing about this kit and some of these other kits are they lack no interior details whatsoever. Just a big open space.

Thank you for going in-depth with the chipping fluid process. Very helpful! Great job on this commission piece.

Very nice build!!! I really like the weathering on that CH-53. 10/10. Best regards...

Basic build. No skill needed here.

👍

Thats just jaw-dropping!I built Italeri's 1/72 MH-53E last summer. Even in that scale she turned out to be pretty hefty. I think 1/48 is a little too much for me. All the more respect to you for building this monster!

very good job 👍👍👍 Abo? YES 😎👍

FYI on the real aircraft, the entire rear third to half of the aircraft is covered in black soot. They don’t call them “shitters” for nothing.

I have this same kit in storage and I've been sitting on it for a long time. I used to work on these back in the day. The floor inside the aircraft was a non-skid black paint. The "rails" in the cargo area were pretty beat up (along with the rest of the floor) but they were reversable. One side had the non-skid on them and the other side had conveyer rollers for when we hauled pallets and other cargo. The interior sound proofing was a light blue color. The padding on the walls and also the ceiling panels were this color. The center hook on the bottom of the 53 actually hangs down from inside the aircraft. When not in use it is stored inside the cargo area (in a box under the front left crew window). For the exhaust, the sponsons didn't really get as much of that soot as the center engine did. Even when we washed the 53 it was really tough to get that soot off the fuselage. For the base, I'm not saying it isn't possible but the only time we would actually shut down in the dessert was if there was a mechanical issue. 99% of the time we would land at an airport or back to a ship somewhere. Those things kick up so much sand, it's like a sand storm underneath that thing. All that being said, the aircraft looks great! I'm getting heavy nostalgia from this video.

Outstanding build. I am usually afraid of Academy but this built up beautifully!

What product you use for chipping?

Man, I have this kit, but kinda afraid to make it. Great built. Just one suggestion. Try and limit the use of the word ''um''

did you sell it

Absolutely incredible work.

Did you put the collectives in backwards?

Awesome job !

TOP SUPER 👋👋👋👋👋👋👋👋

75cm long 🙂and very nice!!

Salut my friend super helucopter super video subscribe subscribe ...

i worked with this monster. its so huge

Really really nice build!

I do regret never getting this kit when it was available in my local hobby shop back in 2008 or 9. Now it's so rare and expensive to find

first thing to see when you're wake up in the morning. awesome.

where did you find that kit? its a unicorn

Very nice! The weathering looks great! I have the Revell 1/48 CH-53 GS in my stash and it is a really huge model!

Awesome job 🏆
