Are you thinking the same scale or different scale? The same era or different era?

 Modeling is an excuse to buy books.

USCG boat implies a vessel less than 100 feet (30.5 m) long.  Dumas Products offers a 1/32nd scale wood kit of the USCG 41' Utility Boat.  The 41' UTB and HH-60 Jayhawk served during the same time frame.

the 1 you like to build is a ship whereas the model you found is a boat.

USCG Coastal Patrol Boat [~1/82] {7209/7409M} FH

FAIR. Shapes are right, the details heavy and a little sparse. Model of a USCG Cape-class 95' Patrol Boat. These boats served from the 1950s to the 1990s, when they were replaced by the new Island-class 110s. Kit includes a hedgehog ASW launcher that might have been tested in the early 50's but hasn't been carried since. (WLM)

Editor's Note: Some boxes list a scale of 1/80. (DRW)

Iron Shipwright (ironshipwrights.com) makes a 1:350 scale resin & brass Hamilton-class cutter

JAG collective made some 1:700 scale resin & brass cutters including the Bear and (IIRC) Hamilton

Shapeways offers some neat boats including both a Medium and Small Response Boat. They are in 1:148 (European N scale?).   Spring extra for the FED material as opposed to the nylon)

Hi;

 Hi , If it's not important about size , but , for display only, I would recommend the Lindberg boat as My Coastie buddies have assured me that it is dead on accurate for the time .The Ship /Boat served the same time near the end of it's career with those choppers .

The picture is the proposed design for a new Offshore Patrol Cutter.  It is designed to replace the 210' and 270' WMEC (Medium Endurance Cutter) classes.  Homeport Model Ships  offers a fiberglass hull and laser cut gator foam superstructure semi kit for the USCG National Security Cutter in 1/96th scale.  The NSC is the larger brother of the OPC.  

 

The Lindberg 95' Cape class cutter represents the "A" Class, with the mousetrap and depth charge launchers.  The "B" and "C" classes did away with the ASW gear and the gun aft of the stack.  Some had an extended cabin aft of the pilothouse.
