                        Just got home from a trip yesterday and was sitting on the counter waiting for me?  It was Trumpeter's new 1/35 HH-65C.  It looks really nice.  It has the proper USCG interior and includes the night sun spot light.  I can't wait to get started on it.  It will have to wait until I finish a few other projects first though.

                        I will be building mine as an armed MH-65C HITRON helo.

                        HITRON

                        (Helicopter Interdiction Tactical SquadRON) is an armed U.S. Coast Guard helicopter squadron specializing in Airborne Use of Force (AUF) and drug-interdiction missions. It is based at Cecil Field in Jacksonville, Florida.  The MH-65Cs are armed with door-mounted M240G 7.62mm MGs and a hand-held M107 .50 cal Barrett sniper rifle.  The idea is to be able to shoot out the engine of a fast-moving drug boat  in open water.  They are pretty effective.

                        Cue the Baywatch opening titles.  (yeah I know, not quite the same bird, but it's still a Dolphin they used for the CG helo)
