I've got 48-022 which I think is the same but the earlier version. Would that work? Graham -
1/48 HH-60J Jayhawk conversion from Italeri HH-60H

I've used Plexiboxes4u to create display boxes for a number of models. You can specify the size you need. https://www.plexiboxes4u.com/

Here’s Vargas’ 1/35 M777-A2 155mm Towed Medium Howitzer (vargasscalemodels.com) – it’s a 3D Printed model – the first I’ve tackled as a whole set. Overall the detail is really excellent and the end result is definitely impressive – I never appreciated just how big these guns actually are – and the coordinated manpower required to operate them. Being essentially a cottage kit – the instructions are sparse and there is generally a lack of
