- This is a comprehensive model kit featuring exciting detail upgrades!
This is a 1/72 scale plastic model assembly kit recreating the large helicopter MH-53E Sea Dragon. The set includes special etched parts for enhanced detailing.
About the Model
- This set is a combination of the popular 1/72 MH-53E Sea Dragon by Platz/Italeri, favored by aircraft model enthusiasts, and an etching detail-up parts set that is separately available.
- The kit features versions for both the Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force and the US Navy. Both versions are 1/72 scale and offer realistic replication not only of the aircraft’s shape but also its interior.
- The included etched parts come in two types: exterior and interior, designed to enhance the model with sharp and realistic detailing.
- The cockpit instrument panel, among other details, uses pre-colored etchings for ease of use, a notable feature.
- A detailed instruction manual is included. While available separately, this set consolidates everything you need in one package for convenience. It also offers a cost-effective choice compared to purchasing each component individually.
About the Real Aircraft
- The CH-53E Super Stallion is a large helicopter developed by Sikorsky in the United States. While originally developed as a large transport helicopter, the MH-53E Sea Dragon, a variant version equipped with mine countermeasure systems, was born.
- A distinctive feature of the MH-53E Sea Dragon is its large sponsons on both sides of its body. It has been operated not only by the US Navy but also by Japan's Maritime Self-Defense Force since 1990.
