MH-68 "Mako" USCG references?
Posted by Anonymous on Sunday, August 29, 2004 9:33 AM
I am hoping to convert a 1/72 Revell A-109 into one of the new Coast Guard MH-68 "Mako" HITRON helicopters. I am looking for any and all reference materials, and in particular interior shots. I really want to make this a one-of-a kind model, and any assistance is greatly appreciated!

Can't help with interior pics, but here's a couple of port exterior shots that might be of use;

You read my mind! The MH-68 is definitely on my list too. Check out this website. It has some details on the interior.

FYI,

I got some really good help on finding a 1/72 M240G door gun for the MH-68A. Check out the other thread titled "know of a 1/72 scale M240G for helo door gun? " on this forum.

Cheers,
Tim

that's about all I could find!!! I know I've seen more out there!

And an interesting note, I've seen it referred to a Mako and a Stingray both on the official Coast Guard sites... only seen it called Mako twice though, everywhere else it's stingray
