those two are good models, but i forgot one small detail my dad worked on the Echos, (CH-53E's) so if someone could find a ch-53 echo, that would be excellent, but thanks muzz!!

I'm pretty sure Italeri made an MH-53E in USMC Markings, though I suspect it's OOP because I can't find it listed at many of the place I usually buy from. YOu might want to try E-Bay.

Got to galleries/Helicopters then CH-53 (Doesnt give me a link you see)

Here is a vacform conversion set for the airfix model:
