HI, I've been searching, trust me, before resorting to ask in here. Is there a Pave Low Super Stallion out there in those scales in the title of this thread? I know it will be big, but for me, in models, size do matters

I am 99.9% sure that one does not exist in that scale... I know I would love to have one as well though...

Nope, nothing out there larger than the new Academy CH/MH-53Es and the old Revell CH-53D in 1/48.

No worries, The 48th ones from Academy are pretty nice though...I have the CH-53 and liked it, still trying to Aquire the MH-53. Wish they would release the AF MH-53J though...

The best way to get a MH-53J Pave Low III is to get an old Revell CH-53 GS/G (German version) model for the composite rotor blades and the Cobra Company MH-53J weapons, interior, and exterior/nose conversion sets. You could also use some of the Academy interior parts on it to flesh it out.

I wouldn't expect Academy to come out with an MH-53J kit. The 53E is not the same fuselage as the earlier 53C-J models. The E has a seven-blade rotor, third engine, and is longer and wider than the older models. Academy would have to make a completely new kit of it.

Revell is planning to re-release the G this year in 1/48.
