I think (believe) I know where you are going with these? You wanna see all the featured a/c from the FOTI movie, right?

Ha Ha! Yeah that would be great. Honestly though I think it is time that we need a Jolly Green. There are a ton of paint schemes, although I would want the standard camo over white scheme.

I had built a jolly green model when I was a kid and I always loved the look of them just a cool bird, love to see one in diecast.

So this is the chopper I'm in love with and I would like to see one in diecast. This is what I have always thought was the Sikorsky CH-53 (HH-53) Jolly Green Giant. Could you experts please verify if the above chopper is the CH-53 or not. I'm a bit confused in the last week about helicopters with people talking about H-3s and that a CH-53 was a "Super Jolly"? or something like that? Danka.

That is the Jolly Green that I want. The H-3 I was talking about is what Corgi already makes, and is what my uncle was shot down in.

Thanks for the info., M.D. At least I'm not going loopy . . . so far.

This is a CH-53 (HH-53) Super Green Giant, the Jolly Green Giant was an HH-3E, a version of the Sea King.
