Well now we haven't heard from the rotorheads of the USN, like the SH-60 family
B,F and of course the spec op HH-60H version, a SH-2 Seasprite. These are nice sized
helo's. Getting into the heavier lift helos like the Sea Knight and Super Sea Stallion are quite large. If you remember the Heller kit of the Super Frelon was quite large and unfortunately lost one in a moving accident. (Still have it ). But these are great subjects and would like to see each one come to fruition. ya never know

Fly Navy uscusn :-)

The only scale I know they make a Sea Stallion in is 1/72.

My son has the 1/72 Sea Stallion. It looks like a fine kit, I just like larger models. At 44 I hate to trash the rest of my eye site on the small stuff---Just kidding. Will probably do the 1/72 if that is all that's offered.

There is the 1/48 scale HH-53 by Revell. Cobra Company makes a conversion for a HH-53J Pave Low in that scale. You may be able to find a conversion set or scratch build a CH -53D Sea Stalion or a CH-53E Super Stallion from the Revell kit.
