About product

The Sikorsky CH-53G in 1:144 scale, a Model Set from the maker Revell

This starter set from the Model Set range holds a plastic kit of the CH-53G heavy transport helicopter in 1:144 scale together with basic paints, a brush and glue, so building can start straight after unpacking. It is a practical choice as a gift and as a first model for someone who does not yet want to buy equipment. The small scale means a quick build and a finished model that fits on a shelf beside the others.

The real subject

The CH-53 is a heavy transport helicopter of American design with a pair of turboshaft engines and a six-blade main rotor, with a cargo compartment and a rear ramp for loading vehicles and materiel. The CH-53G version was built for German army aviation, where it formed the backbone of heavy helicopter transport. The machines carried troops, equipment and slung loads, and they served for rescue tasks and for humanitarian deployments during floods and other disasters. During their long service they went through several upgrades, which concerned above all the cockpit equipment and protective features.

Building and painting tips

In 1:144 scale the parts are small, so separate them from the fret with nippers and clean the remains of the sprue gates up with a knife rather than by twisting. The glazing of the cockpit is better covered with masking tape and glued on at the very end. The fuselage takes a simple procedure: a base coat, a single-color dark scheme, a slight accenting of the panel lines with a thin wash and a matte varnish. Apply the decals onto a smooth gloss base, or matte edges will appear under them. Glue the rotor blades and antennas on at the very end, as they are fragile and easily broken off during handling.

Who the set is for

  • beginning modelers who do not yet have paints and glue
  • anyone interested in helicopters and military transport
  • collectors of models in 1:144 scale
  • those looking for a model for one or two evenings

The model is supplied unassembled and unpainted. With Model Set sets, basic paints, a brush and glue are part of the package.

FAQ

Model Set sets hold the kit, basic paints, a brush and glue. The particular number of bottles and the shades are given on the packaging.

Yes. The 1:144 scale means a smaller number of parts and a simple scheme; it is only necessary to work carefully with the small parts.

It is the version built for German army aviation. The differences are mainly in the equipment and in the markings; the basic shape stays the same.

It is not. At this scale the model can be painted with the brush that is part of the set, though an airbrush will give a smoother surface.
