Italeri 081 1/72 CH-53E Super Stallion

[Diamondback]

Anyone seen the 1/72 Italeri CH-53E lately? I don't mean #1065 the MH-53E, but the old-school small-sponson-and-droptanks Echo.

Or, does 1065 also include the CH sponsons and tanks?

Italieri No. 081?  As a matter of fact, I've got one sitting, still in the shrink wrap, right near my computer desk.

He! He!  SNAP ----  only mine's right by my hobby work-bench.

I have to say though it took me a while to find this one (got another in the stash to be built OOB), I got some Hawkeye Models Australia Presidential decals for it

Got a second one and the same decals.  When I contracted at Sikorsky, I saw pictures of at least one of them.  Be tempting to finish as a "white top" with a suitable interior.
