Is it my imagination or did Hasegawa make a 1/72 HH-60J Jayhawk in USCG markings in the late 80s/early 90s?

I know that they did a few SH-60s but I don't recall them ever making an HH-60, either Navy or Coast Guard (granted I would have been 5 in 1990
). I do know that there is/was a conversion set available in the 90s to convert a braille scale and quarter scale SH-60 into a HH-60J with all of the markings included (saw it in a Finescale Modeler magazine). If memory serves me right, Cobra Company also makes a conversion for an HH-60 using Italeri's SH-60 kit. Hope this helps.

Kyle:
All of that info is correct, thanks. I saw that same bird in the Sept. issue of FSM in the Gallery.
This is all pre-work for a long-simmering project that may never happen. I was just curious if I actaully remebered seeing that kit 17 or 18 years ago (It would have been at the Squadron retail location in Maryland) or if I just THOUGHT I saw it.
