I don't know of any, esp. at a decent price.  The high cost is because Revell/Monogram can't rerelease it.  The molds were destroyed in a train wreck or something like that.  Either way, they are gone.  Some company would have to start from scratch to make a new model of the H-34.  I am hoping Trumpeter or Academy will come out with one in 1/35.

Looking around after being broken into I have decided to get rid of some old kits and although this thread is a little old I know what its like to be stuck without somthing u cant find. You will be pleased to know I have in my posession Revell kit number 4485 or more to the point a Sikorsky UH-34D special edition with a couple of drawbacks.

First I started making the kit nearly 20 years ago and a mouse had been at the instruction sheet :(

Second I have started building the kit and a few pieces may be missing but nothing u couldnt salvage from a Westland Wessex (mainlty the rotor head)

Decal set is intact (two options 1 for a US Vietnam period and the other for a Belgian farewell Rescue)

I can take a photo if u like.

Yes the box is a bit tatty but I can make the bar code out. The number is 4009803044859 the kit date is 1989

I would be interested in obtaining it, as I had one a number of years ago myself (Danish and West German Maritine markings) and have wanted to get another for a long time. If it isn't  too costly, we may have to make some kind of arrangement otherwise, and yes I would be interested in a photo of it.

Cool Awesome, didnt think I would get a reply on this old post. If you are in america or europe the postage will be horrific. But sure Ill get hold of a camera and take pics. Most of the sprues are intact I sprayed the body halves Olive drab. A rodent has eaten most of the instructions (the box lay in a shed for years after I practically gave the hobby up). Im sure we can come to an amicable agreement on reimbursement.

Expose the decals to sun light for several days and they should clear up.
