In the first picture, it is a SA-365N helicopter : metallic tail with protrusion underneath. It is the version you get inside the kit.
The second picture shown a AS-365N-2 : composite tail, bulged rear sliding door. To do this vesion, you need the Harbin Z-9 kit from Kittyhawk models.
If you're looking for the Japan rescue specificaly, there's one on ebay : look here

I tried to fix the silvering . Looks better not perfect but better
Enjoy

I can suggest to apply Mr. Mark Softer or similar products over the silvering decals. I made this once and was able to save the decals. You may have to punch tiny holes into the decal to ensure the Softer liquid goes under the complete decal. But this stuff smoothly dissolve the decal, but not completely, and when the decal straightens again, it will hopefully lay smooth to the surface.
HAJO
I tried this with Walthers Solvaset, Looks so much better . The decals lighting up a lot that's ok .
If not ,I do what Heavy and scotthldr suggested
I will post photos later . It going be almost 70 today . Be garage working and cleaning

I hope the clear coat will fix this ..

I finished the second color . I thought it was little bright, like it stuck out like a sore thumb . So I took some Light ghost gray, highly thinned. I then sprayed that to tone down the Med. ghost gray .
I believe it looks so much better .
Enjoy
