Here's another title aimed straight for the modeler from Dataview
Publications. This title provides color coverage of the Sikorsky
MH-53E Sea Dragon / CH-53E Super Stallion. This comes about the
same time that Academy's stunning 1/48 CH-53E kit hits store shelves.
Following the same formula as their Hawkeye, Prowler, and Mohawk
titles, this Modeler's Close-Up combines detail photos taken by
the author of a line aircraft (in this case, an MH-53E) with published
photos from the US Navy's website covering the MH-53E Sea Dragon
mine hunter and the CH-53E Super Sea Stallion multi-mission aircraft.
The photos in this title are clearly printed in full color and
will provide the modeler with the colors and details from a variety
of nice views. To augment the photos, there are four diagrams from
MIL STD 2161A(AS), the US Navy's technical order for how to paint
and mark their aircraft.
Most
photo pages contain only one picture per page, giving you essentially
an 8"x10" detail shot at your fingertips. What's
more, the title is spiral-bound so you can easily prop any
page open for reference whilst working on the bench.
This Modeler's Close-Up is cover-to-cover color photography which
has been color laser printed on quality paper stock. While the
subject aircraft are mostly subdued gray camouflage, the color
printing helps to quickly identify those non-gray details to help
you bring your own H-53E project alive. This title is definitely
recommended!
