About product

Resin wheels for the CH-53 Sea Stallion, early type, 1:48

This is a resin set of wheels for a model of the CH-53 Sea Stallion helicopter in 1:48 scale, in the type the manufacturer describes as early. It is not a kit of the helicopter but an accessory that replaces the wheels from the plastic kit. The tires are cast as weighted, that is with a flattened contact patch.

The real subject

The Sikorsky CH-53 Sea Stallion is an American heavy transport helicopter, brought into service in the mid-1960s and used by the Marine Corps and other branches. It carries cargo as well as troops, so it has a high takeoff weight and sturdy landing gear. The later and more powerful machine with three engines carries the designation CH-53E Super Stallion, and that is already a different subject. The landing gear parts changed during production, which is why the manufacturer distinguishes an early and a late wheel.

How to work with resin

  • Wash the parts in warm soapy water before gluing, which removes any mold release residue
  • Cut the casting blocks off with a saw or a cutting disc, do not snap them off
  • Glue with super glue, as resin does not react to cements for polystyrene
  • Protect your airways when sanding, as resin dust must not be inhaled
  • Apply a primer before painting, as a shade holds badly on bare resin

Who the set is for

For modelers of helicopters in 1:48 who build the older version of the CH-53 and want a landing gear with a flattened tire. A heavy helicopter stands on clearly loaded tires and a round casting from a mold does not capture that. Check the contents of the package on the box.

This is an accessory for a model, not a kit. The base kit, glue and paints are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.

FAQ

The box gives the CH-53 Sea Stallion, that is the older two-engine subject. The manufacturer does not declare it for the Super Stallion, so compare the parts with your kit before gluing.

This is how the manufacturer distinguishes the version of the wheel from an earlier period of production. The specific technical difference is not stated here; it also makes a set for the late type for the same type.

It is not. The box holds only resin wheels for a model you already have. The set does not contain the fuselage, the rotor or the engines.

Wash the mold release agent off the parts, cut the casting blocks off with a saw, glue with super glue and apply a primer before painting. Protect your airways when sanding.
