Academy 12575 USMC CH-53D 1/72 Military Helicopter Kit  [AC-12575]

Academy 1/72 CH-53D Operation Frequent Wind Scale Replica

The Academy 1/72 USMC CH-53D Operation Frequent Wind kit reproduces the Sea Stallion helicopter involved in late Vietnam evacuations. It is aimed at modellers who want a compact, historically based subject with clear assembly sequences. The kit makes an informative display piece for military aviation collections.

Accurate Small-Scale Detailing

At 1/72 scale, the model preserves important features like the rotor hubs, cockpit instrument area and landing gear mounts. The parts layout supports a tidy build and the finished model displays the CH-53D silhouette convincingly when painted and decaled.

Model as Historical Reference

This kit serves as a way to study the CH-53D's role during Operation Frequent Wind and to display that history in miniature. The included decal set and instructions help guide authentic marking and finishing.
