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.

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. 

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.
