Just got home from a trip and mine was sitting on the counter waiting for me. It does have the proper USCG interior and includes the night sun spot light. It looks really nice. I can't wait to get started on it. It will have to wait until I finish a few other projects first though.
I will be building mine as an armed MH-65C HITRON helo.
HITRON (Helicopter Interdiction Tactical SquadRON) is an armed U.S. Coast Guard helicopter squadron specializing in Airborne Use of Force (AUF) and drug-interdiction missions. It is based at Cecil Field in Jacksonville, Florida. The MH-65Cs are armed with door-mounted M240G 7.62mm MGs and a hand-held M107 .50 cal Barrett sniper rifle. The idea is to be able to shoot out the engine of a fast-moving drug boat in open water. They are pretty effective.
