UPDATE FOUND SOURCE! Need help with source for 1/72 USCG Decals

I haven't ordered directly from Hawkeye yet. I have been getting them from an Ebay vendor, which is where I first found out about the 1/72 conversion kits. Which again, are very nice.

Going out on a limb here, based on the quality of the detail, the sharpness of the resin parts, I don't think delivery will be an issue. BUT THIS IS A GUESS ONLY!

The email of the guy I have been dealing with over there is rosnroy@bigpond.net.au. Delivery time for the items I got from him was not quite a week.

Rocky,

This is great news. Thanks for turning this site up. Hows the delivery time?

Excellent!
Thanks for sharing.

FOUND A SOURCE FOR THESE!

www.Hawkeyemodels.com.au has 1/72 and some 1/48 decals for most of the following:

Jayhawk - (2) types
Stingray
Dolphin
Albatross
Pelican
Guardian

I just scored a couple of their 1/72 conversion kits, SH-60J Seahawkk and HH-3 Pelican, which include the decals. Very nicely done and the parts are high quality.

There are no decals in 1/72 available unless you can find the old micro scale sheet, but you would get decals that are 15-20 years old.
Your best bet would be to find the Revell of Germany kit of the SA365, the old Matchbox kit with US Coast Guard decals. It sells for about $8.
The MH68 has very basic USCG decals so the revell set should do you nicely.

Rocky,

The 48th scale decals wouldn't work, but if you could get a scan of the 48th sheet and shoot it down to 72nd, then make your own decals, you'd be golden!

this came up a couple of months ago, and unfortunately I don't think anyone makes decals other than Aeromaster for a USCG PBY. I think Knight667 was after the same build as you back then, I had a set from my HH-65 I sent him but don't know if they worked or not.

The only thing I can think of in comparable size would be the Trumpeter HH-65 decals from that kit. (about 19 dollars)

Revell is slated to release a HH-68 sometime in the future just not sure when. I am waiting for it too so I can make it for my dad...

---edit---

I just saw the scale you are building in, the HH-65 is 1/48 so not sure it would work for ya...
