Plastikowy model samolotu do sklejania. Zestaw nie zawiera kleju ani farb modelarskich.

Sikorsky CH-53 Sea Stallion – amerykański ciężki śmigłowiec transportowy. Swoimi wymiarami i przeznaczeniem przypomina CH-47 Chinook. Jest on w stanie przenosić np. haubice M198 lub samochody Humvee. Często bywa określany mianem „latającego dźwigu”. Stosuje się go również do akcji ratunkowych i desantowych. Posiada rampę załadunkową, dzięki której na jego pokładzie można umieścić np. samochód terenowy M151.

The CH-53 Sea Stallion (Sikorsky S-65) is an American family of heavy-lift transport helicopters designed and built by the American rotorcraft manufacturer Sikorsky Aircraft. It was originally developed in response to a request from the United States Navy's Bureau of Naval Weapons made in March 1962 for a replacement for the Sikorsky CH-37 Mojave helicopters flown by the United States Marine Corps (USMC). In July 1962, Sikorsky's proposal, which was basically a scaled-up S-61R fitted with twin General Electric T64 turboshaft engines and the dynamic system of the S-64/CH-54, was selected. On 14 October 1964, the YCH-53A performed its maiden flight; the first deliveries of production CH-53s to operational units commenced on 12 September 1966. The first combat use of the type occurred during the following year when it was deployed to the Vietnam theatre; the CH-53 quickly proved its value for moving heavy payloads, particularly in the recovery of damaged aircraft.
