In the forground my first CH-53 (84+73). The color matches not to the 85+12 because its green olive (olive). The 85+12 (background) is painted in yellow olive (gelbolive)
Masking for the strips to the food steps. They are wrong on the decals sheet: grey. Those stripes are only grey, if the helicopter is painted in a three color camouflage. *No* CH-53 Gs is painted in three color camouflage. They all are painted like mine: yellow olive. So the strips have to be white.
Those white stripes are peinted too. They are on the blades for maintenence reason: they show where the balance point is and where to locate the support frame in case of removing the blades.
During the completition, Eurocopter visited us and added some lugs to the 85+12. Well. So I had to add tem too to be correct. In the picture some of the custom made antennas - seen in the next two pictures.
