1972 CH-53 GS - 85+12 / Fully detailled & lighted
My remembrance to an awesome time

Scale:
1:48
Status:
Completed
Started:
July 1, 2012
Completed:
May 18, 2014
Time spent:
255 Hours

The model kit shows the Sikorsky CH-53 GS of the German Aviation Corp 15 "Münsterland" in Rheine. The Corp was set out of duty in 2012. So the model kit is truly built after the 85+12 in July 2012. It is a remember thing for me.

I scratch built the complete interior, opened the door, cockpit windows, avionic & signal storage rooms (?). Put all the main lights into the model kit (interior, dashboard, cockpit, hoover light, cargo light, search lights, position light....). Every circle can be switched separately. Rebuilt every antenna.


There are four parts:
