The US Coast Guard added 96 short range HH-65A helicopters to its fleet to replace the HH-52A Sikorsky Sea Guard. Though normally stationed ashore, the Dolphins can be carried on board assisting in the missions of search and rescue, including drug interdiction, polar ice breaking, marine environmental protection and military readiness. HH-65As are made of corrosion-resistant, composite-structure materials. This plastic model kit is an accurate representation of the military vehicle.
