Refueling Tube Sikorsky CH-53 / MH-53 Scale 1:72 ResKit RSU72-0035 for Helicopters Model Kit

Aftermarket resin accessory for helicopter scale model kits, representing an aerial refueling tube for the Sikorsky CH-53 and MH-53 helicopter family.

Precision components designed for realistic 1/72 scale helicopter model builds, focusing on the distinctive forward-mounted refueling probe used for in-flight refueling operations.

Special operations variants of the H-53 family often feature an extended refueling tube mounted on the nose, allowing the helicopter to receive fuel from tanker aircraft. This accessory replaces simplified kit parts and adds a more refined probe structure suitable for detailed display builds.

For modelers: carefully test-fit the refueling probe on the nose section before painting to confirm alignment. Applying primer first helps reveal small surface details and ensures even paint coverage.
