I built this model before the real ship was finished so there are some differences between the model and the real ship. The Helo and UAV are not what the Coast Guard uses. The cat walk in front of the bridge windows does not appear on the real ship . I did get some of the colors wrong on some of the small equipment but overall I think it captures the look of the real ship. The model is resin castings with my own photo etch. All of the decals were printed on blank water slide decal paper.
