About product

Resin wheels for the CH-53 Sea Stallion, early version, 1:72

This is a resin wheel set for the CH-53 Sea Stallion helicopter model in 1:72 scale, in the version the manufacturer describes as early. It is not a helicopter kit 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 introduced in the mid-1960s. It carries troops as well as slung loads and its landing gear is sized for a high takeoff weight, so the tires are visibly squashed on the ground. The later three-engine CH-53E Super Stallion is a separate 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; this removes any mold release residue
  • Cut the casting blocks off with a saw or a cutting disc, do not snap them
  • Glue with cyanoacrylate glue, as resin does not react to polystyrene cements
  • Protect your airways when sanding, as resin dust must not be inhaled
  • Apply a primer before painting, as without it the shade holds poorly on resin

Who the set is for

For helicopter modelers in 1:72 who are building the earlier version of the CH-53 and want landing gear that matches the weight of the real machine. The wheel is small in this scale, but that is exactly why the flattened contact patch stands out. 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 states the CH-53 Sea Stallion, that is the older twin-engine subject. The manufacturer does not declare it for the Super Stallion, so compare the parts with your kit before gluing.

No. The package holds only resin wheels for a model you already have. It does not include the fuselage, the rotor or the engines.

The box uses that label for the wheel from an earlier production period. The specific technical difference is not stated here; the manufacturer also offers a set for the late version of the same type.

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