Anyone know of a kit for the Coast Guard MH-68 Stingray of the CG HITRON squadron in Jacksonville?

Unfortunately, I don't think there is a kit of the actual MH-68A Stingray.  The closest thing is Revell's A-109.  I'm not sure what would have to be changed on it though.

You can get Coast Guard decals from Hawkeye Models, for an MH-68A, and from Fireball Modelworks, for HH-60Js.

Revell's A-109

 

Good luck.

There is a diecast (1/48 IIRC) but that is all I know of other than the Revell 109 kit mentioned above. I think the diecast is a Testors kit but that may not be correct.

 

HeavyArty thanks for the link to the MH-68 decals, I have had the idea of converting a 109 into a USCG MH-68 sometime after I finish the Fireball HH-60 Jayhawk conversion. Since I haven't even started that one yet who knows when I'll get to the MH-68, but at least now I know where to get decals. I wonder what the chances are Revell will do a USCG version of the A-109.

The Testor's die-cast one is 1/48, but it is little more than a cute toy.  I don't really consider it a model since it is already partially assembled and painted, and it goes together with big screws.

I'd stick with the Revell and convert it.
