This review is from: CH-53E Super Sea Stallion - 1/48 scale model (Toy)
I don't know why they charge so much for these. I had mine made in the Phillipines, as I'm sure that's where these are from, for $32.00. ($30.00 plus $2.00 for the Balsa wood box it came in.) Mine included the side number, serial number, aircraft nickname, my name, and the pedestal with my squadron logo.
