Hobbycraft makes a similar kit in 1/72. It comes with SAR markings for Canada and USMC markings for the US.

I just got a 1/48 CH-53 (old Revell kit) now I've definitely got to get this one for the collection. Thanks for the info! All I had seen before was the old Fujimi kit in 1/72.

Kit arrived today. I gave it a real quick look over and it's pretty crisp. One little feature I wasn't expecting is the choice of fitting the chopper out with troop seats or litters, kind of a nice little touch....
