Max Headroom Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 It took me a while to figure this out I'm a bit slow sometimes....... Trevor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trevor Now that looks sufficiently "right" to be the real thing - presumably the tail booms would contain NOTAR style ducts to compensate for the lack of a tail rotor. To answer the question in hand: what about one of HMX-1's VH-53Ds or, if you wanted to stay in the world of WHIF, as the SH-3, CH-46 and CH-47 have all been used by non-military operators what about a civilian or para-military scheme?

Davide Calzolari Posted August 12, 2017 Author Share Posted August 12, 2017 (edited) @ Jabba: the revell 48sc from box of the ch-53G is different as shape from those of the USMC..so no women in silohuette in camo desert..and the top surfaces have no the hump of those in usmc..nor side sponsons..

Wafu Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 Sticking with the theme, how about this for a stand out scheme? http://forums.airshows.co.uk/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=63768 http://photorecon.net/special-sikorsky-ch-53/ Just a thought 😉 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davide Calzolari Posted August 14, 2017 Author Share Posted August 14, 2017 (edited) above is somethign like very light desert sand + a very light blueish gray,or this last one + a more definately cream/buff or, in the last pic, light grey ?

modelling minion Posted August 15, 2017 Share Posted August 15, 2017 I like the sand and grey scheme you have posted, it looks very nice indeed. However my choices would be either the Iranian 3 colour scheme or the early Israeli scheme (cafe au lait) before the single colour scheme came into use.

Sky dancer Posted August 15, 2017 Share Posted August 15, 2017 Hi, For my pennies worth, I always wanted to do an Israeli CH-53. I'd heard rumours over the years that some of these were armed with missiles when used on special ops. Could never find any photos, and thought it was just exaggeration or a "tall tale". Then just now, just on the chance of finding one now, I did a 'Goggle' search and found this, it's about half-way down:- http://www.scoop.it/t/ch53/?tag=YASUR Alas, they've cancelled it........ Typical of my luck... M Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Italeri's HH-53C boxing comes with an Yas'Ur option. Incidentally, two of the Israeli birds were ex-Austrian S-65Ö's. Cheers, Andre 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers, Andre that is what I was thinking of you can use the Revell kit as is! decals needed! and something old, as the kit itself Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nabe3 Posted August 20, 2017 Share Posted August 20, 2017 I took walkaround photos of a CH-53D(USMC) and a couple of MH-53Ms(USAF) several years ago, and I uploaded the photos on my website. If you are interested in these walkaround photos, please click on the following URL. I hope this will help you some. 1, CH-53D; http://nabe3saviation.web.fc2.com/waCH53.html 2, MH-53M; http://nabe3saviation.web.fc2.com/waMH53.html Akira 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
upnorth Posted August 21, 2017 Share Posted August 21, 2017 As the CH-53G was derived from the D model, here's a few decal sheets already out there for D models in 1/48: This one has Israeli AF and USMC presidential transport variants on it: https://www.scalemates.com/kits/940627-superscale-international-48-233-sikorsky-ch-53d-and-uh-53d-israeli-af-usmc-mx-1 This one covers some hi visibility USN and USMC markings from the early 1980s: https://www.scalemates.com/kits/197142-microscale-48-224-sikorsky-ch-53d-us-marines-and-rh-53d-us-navy This one's mix of more contemporary USMC D and E models: https://www.scalemates.com/kits/973331-flying-leathernecks-fl48002-usmc-ch-53d-e-super-stallions Decals for an Iranian navy version can be found here by scrolling down to the decal section of this page: http://www.heli-scale-quality.com/sikorsky-ch-53.html?___store=uk&___from_store=de For myself, I find the Iranian navy camo eye catching and different. Some decent pictures of the Iranian CH-53Ds can be found here: http://militaryzoneupdate.blogspot.cz/2013/01/iranian-navy-sikorsky-ch-53-sea.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
