Heres a hint. Try this . I bought a model of the PYRO / LIFELIKE / LINDBERG Version of the AMERICAN PRESIDENT LINER. I then checked things out very closely . If you don,t mind the size , you can do a conversion based on this ship .The bridge , stacks, and some of the upper deck structure is different.This ship is a good starting point though . tankerbuilder
Thanks for all the help. Looks like it's time to go to plan B--whatever that is...

The Navigator Cascade Modelwerks makes(or made) a 1/700 kit of the tanker. You would have to scratchbuild from there. Good Luck Mike

Cascade, that was the name I was thinking of. Thanks.
Cascade planned-to-make/made the mod to their supertanker set which would convert it to the Comfort/Mercy. However Cascade went out of business soon after releasing their supertanker. The hospital ship mod never went into distribution. That was 12 to 15 years ago (damn, am I getting that old?)!
Your best bet for locating one would be to keep an eye on eBay or perhaps post a want on a more ship-centric board such as modelwarships or steelnavy. Be prepared to pay a premium price for it, however.
I have many books and my Lair smells of rich mahogany!!! Stay thirsty my fellow MOJOs!
Unless I am mistaken, those are built on tanker hulls. No kits are out that I know of.
Trying to find a kit of the USNS Comfort or Mercy (hospital ships). If a kit doesn't exist, is there a kit of a similar vessel that could be easily converted without a lot of effort?
Revell has a kit of the Hope in 1/471 (?) scale, but it's not even close to being the same vessel type.
Thanks for all the help!
