About product

Reskit 1:72 auxiliary fuel tanks for the CH-53 and MH-53 (2 pcs)

This set from the Ukrainian manufacturer Reskit holds two external fuel tanks of the CH-53 and MH-53 helicopters in 1:72 scale, cast in resin. It is an aftermarket accessory, that is parts with which the equipment of a kit is replaced or filled out, and not a helicopter model in its own right. In reality the tanks are carried on the side sponsons and are among the most conspicuous features of the machine's outline, so their accurate shape has a great deal of influence on the final impression of a model.

The real subject

The Sikorsky CH-53 is an American heavy transport helicopter with three engines in the later versions and a large cargo hold. It serves to carry troops, materiel and slung loads. The MH-53 designation is carried by machines adapted for special operations and for search and rescue tasks in threatened areas; these have expanded avionics and the ability to refuel in flight. External tanks markedly extend the range and are standard equipment on machines of these versions.

Usage and painting tips

First wash the resin parts in lukewarm water with a drop of detergent, so that the remains of the mold release agent are removed. Cut the casting blocks off with a saw or a cutter rather than with sprue cutters, and sand the surface. Protect your airways while sanding resin. They are glued with cyanoacrylate glue, that is super glue, or with a two-part epoxy resin; ordinary cement for plastic has no effect on resin. Apply a base coat before painting, as resin holds a covering layer less well without one. The tanks are usually painted in the same shade as the fuselage, so it pays to spray them together with the whole model.

Who the set is for

  • modelers who build CH-53 family helicopters in 1:72 scale
  • those who want to add long-range equipment to a model
  • builders with experience of resin and cyanoacrylate glue
  • collectors who care about the most faithful shape of the parts

The set is supplied unassembled and unpainted and is an accessory, not a complete model. Glue, paints and other accessories are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.

FAQ

It is not. It is an accessory set of two auxiliary fuel tanks to be added to a helicopter model under construction. The model itself is not included in the package.

Cyanoacrylate glue or a two-part epoxy. Ordinary cement for plastic does not bite into resin and the joint would not hold.

Yes. Wash the parts in soapy water to remove the remains of the mold release agent, cut the casting blocks off, sand the surface and apply a base coat. Without a primer a covering layer holds less well on resin.

1:72 scale. It cannot be used in larger scales, as neither the shape nor the size would match.
