Preferably the Skunk Models kit. Poked all over the interwebs and cant find one.
Nice try, but both places are “out of stock”/ “available to order”.
I think Skunk Models has gone out of business as none of their products appear to be available anywhere.
Hmmm…
Isn’t Skunk Models part of Kinetic?
Apparently, if it’s available to order on Squadron, it means you can special order it according to the writing in the blue strip… it just might take longer to deliver.
Am I right, or would this not work? [:^)]
Closed in on the blue strip for reading purposes:
I tried to order as well after reading that due to looking for the same kit. (As you can see from the I’ll advised post I just did) and it wont even let you add it to the cart
Unfortunately, no. That is just their wording for, “Out of stock, We will try to order it…from somewhere.”
The kit is apparently no longer being produced and can’t be found anywhere.
Yeah, turns out Squadron doesn’t sell Skunk Models anymore.
I went with 1/72 Hobby Boss. I want to do this - saw a couple flying over off of North Island here in San Diego. Celebrating 100 years of coast gaurd aviation.
Lots of yellow there! [:D]
I spent a career at Sikorsky Aircraft, the manufacturer of the HH-60J Jayhawks. Supported that line from ac#1 through its last delivery. I remember that aircraft very well and it’s great looking colors (White and red, as originally delivered to USCG). Great times, beautiful aircraft. Hope to see that build someday.
Must have been cool working around all those choppers. I’m just waiting on the paint before getting started - probably over the long weekend. Would you know what the color is? I ordered two different insignia yellows.
They were originally delivered to USGG with black radome to windshield line, red cockpit, white again from cabin to fuselage red strip with USGC insignia and red tail empennage with some yellow markings. They were never delivered in Navy Yellow, that is just a commemoration deal. As far as I know, no yellow military aircraft came off the Sikorsky line when I worked there, probably not since the Canadian Sea Kings 55 years ago. There were probably some commercial aircraft, S-92 and S-76, with some yellow made during my tenure.
For your aircraft pictured above best match is a RAF Yellow or even FS 33538 yellow equivalent (Vallejo Model Air 71078 is a good match).
Cool. The MM insignia yellow is FS 33538. Thanks!
I found one for sale.
Thanks. May still go that route if I can get the right price
No problem! 
I was going to buy one of these but they are all over priced and odd scales, except the 1.72. I really need to build one.

I just recently came across a Coast Guard HH53 in that bright yellow color scheme. Is this the NEW Coast Guard scheme or something specific to a unit, or location, or operation? Anyone?
