Here is a fine sheet for the CH-53. There are two options available. One is for a CH-53D from HMH-463. I've been told that it is in Light Gull Grey, a new scheme for some helos. There are no painting information that I could find in the instructions. For this, you'll need the Revell kit. Though a bit long in the tooth, it is still an excellent kit and not all that difficult to find of you search.
The second is a CH-53E from the training squadron, HMT-302. This is in the standard tactical paint scheme of greys though with a difference. There has been a lot of testing going on with what are known as 'digital' paint schemes. This one has the tail done in such a manner and makes for an interesting change. Academy does this big helo in 1/48 and you will need to use the stencils from the kit.
Two great schemes. Also part of the set but not shown here is the walkways sheet earlier reviewed.
Overall a fine sheet and my thanks to MAW Decals for the review sample. You can get yours direct from the link above.
