Thanks Arty....yeah,...I should'a been more descriptive but the fact is that I'm not quite sure actually. I'm mainly an armor buff. My Dad served on the U.S.S Atka Icebreaker (Originally commissioned the USCGC Southwind in 1944) during the Korean War and so far I think that I've located a source for that kit in 1/292 scale. However most of the kits come with a Sikorzky (sp?) copter and the one that was on his was a two seater Bell hele in 1952. Actually they lost one copter and pilot in the arctic while deployed.
I'm trying to get the stuff together for his birthday at the end of October. He's never had a model of the ship he was on so I thought I'd suprise him.
Guess I have alota research to do.
