Sikorsky MH-53J Pave Low III, Italeri 1/72


I built this out of box as a "de-stress build" but it turned out to be more stressful to build it out of the box! Fit isn't the greatest but is adequate. Cabin was not very well detailed so I closed up the tail ramp (it didn't help that I broke off one of the hinges). I resisted the urge to detail it as I needed a quick build but this ended up taking me 2 years to build off and on. I made an aggressive push and completed it after putting in 30 minutes a day over the next three weeks. I enjoyed putting on the ultra cool paint job though, and it's huge. I have an Mi-26 which is even bigger. I really ought to build that thing sometime.
