Maybe you wondering, why the air cleaners are green and grey. It's correct heree. I asked whether they will be painted. No. The grey one is a part of the US Marines, the green one is produced under license in Germany.
Scratch built whipers 😄 and pop-out-windows
Rebuilt every single opening
Pay attention to the arrow and compare it with the first picture: the overspray near the arrow is here too 😉
right near the door is the connection to the power supply (for the lights) - like in real when the CH-53 is in the garage to work on (external power supply)
Scratch built wipers
Main rotor can be spinned 360° without any problem. The lights are still on 😄
Rebuilt the storrage box and the middle seat
Scratch built the storrage box and middle seat too.
Masking before the paint job
The green lines pointing to another antennas I added.
Some small Antennas and indicators were added
Also added antennas and ground "feeler" (left)
Left another antenna and the white hook to fix the CH-53 to the ground while it's been shipped or transported in AN-124. They are new at all CH-53 GS

Album info
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.
