Italeri 1065 - 1/72 MH-53E Sea Dragon Kit Introduction

The Italeri 1065 - 1/72 MH-53E Sea Dragon brings a naval mine-sweeper helicopter into scale modelling collections with attention to defining shapes and operational fittings. It is suitable for display builds focused on historical accuracy.

Service Role and Aircraft Traits

Built on the CH-53 lineage, the MH-53E features three powerplants and equipment to handle mine countermeasure duties. Its capability to tow heavy gear distinguished it in naval service across several decades.

Tips for Assembly and Finishing

This kit benefits from patient assembly and test-fitting. The 1/72 format is space efficient yet detailed, so weathering, washes, and decal care will significantly lift the finished model's realism.

Specifications

  • Scale: 1/72
  • Dimensions: 32 cm in length
  • Material: High-quality plastic
  • Assembly: Requires glue
  • Paint: Not included, recommended for realism
Essential tools include a sharp hobby knife, fine sanding sticks, tweezers, and good plastic cement. Small clamps and masking tape help align larger assemblies before glue sets.
Use fine brushes for cockpit and access panels and consider masking for larger camouflage areas. Thin layers and drying time between coats prevent detail loss.
Some modellers add aftermarket decals, resin parts, or metal rods for stronger rotor blades. Upgrades depend on the level of fidelity you want for display or competition entries.
