I'm currently bidding on one of these on ebay - hoping to add a little helicopter to my growing USAF collection...

I’ve seen plenty of CH-53s in real life, in the air and on the ground. But never that version. I have a couple of 1/48 H-53 kits, and those are BIG when built. Between the rotor span and the length of the fuselage, it has a good “footprint” on a shelf.
