Trying to build a 1/35th scale model of the HH60J USCG.
Do you know of conversion kits available for this scale?

I have the MRC MH60 Pave Hawk to use as a base.
Any help would be appreciated.

Hello-

I sure enjoy your site. Lots of great stuff to see!

The HH60J helicopter is operated by the U.S. Coast Guard as opposed to the USAF which is listed on your site as the service that operates the Jayhawk.

The Jayhawk is a great airframe and quite fun to fly in . . . especially in Southeast Alaska!

Thanks for your time.
