Thanks for the info.

 I did check with Tom's and he got me two of them from WEM.

 It looks like I'll need a 20 power magnifiying glass to assemble them !!

 Thanks again

I went back to the White Ensign page and looked a bit deeper

It does still appear to be listed.  Check out this address

Check too with Starling Hobbies or Soverign Hobbies in the UK.   They may be able to help with WEM stock

Hi There;

 I would imagine that going to be a long and possibly expensive search. While I was Stationed on the U.S.S.OZBOURN D.D. 846 we were supposed to get two. We never even saw it much any evidence that we would get one. After three years we still didn't have one.

You could probably make one up without too much trouble. Small.

I suppose you could ask this designer if they would make a smaller one.

 Modeling is an excuse to buy books.

White Ensign used to make them.  Since WEM shut down I don't see them on the Toms Modelworks (current owner of WEM), the remains of the WEM website still activ, or Peter Hall's Atlantic Models.   Hall was the designer/model maker for WEM.  

Dont see anything on Shapeways for a 350 scale Gyrodyne. 

You will likely have to search the secondary market (eBay).
