I liked the Film "The Guardian", so I decided to build the Helicopter for my own. The Basic Kit was a SH 60 Seahawk in 1/48 from Italeri.  On the Internet I found a conversion Kit for a HH-60J Jayhawk from Cobra Company. The whole Kit was very good to handle.

I found the Decals also in the Internet at Fireball Modellwork.  With this decals set it was possible to build all Jayhawks that are operated by the U.S. Coast Guard.  The Colors I used are from Revell (white and black) and Xtracolors (red and yellow).  For the Finish I took Mr. Metal Primer.

The Ground plate is a normal wooden plate the I found in my garage. It's colored with normal wall paint. The figures are also from a Ground Mechanic Kit from Italeri.
