Revell 1:48 Sikorsky CH-53GA (04834) German Air Force.
This is the 2013 reissue of the kit first released in 1981 as the CH-53G. Fit is overall very good but detail ranging from soft in places or non-existant in case of the cargo area. This one is brush painted using Humbrol enamels, unfortunately new tin of Hu49 I used to do the final touch up appears to have had something the matter with it and has dried with a chalky white finish in places.

Cheers guys.

Del, I'm afraid it had the union flag on the side so can't blame the Chinese for this one.
