Trumpeter designates this as a UH-34D but in fact, the Japan markings provided are for an ASW SH-34J.

- I scratch-builded the missing ASW equipment (SONAR, operator seats and consoles) inside the cabin, along with some missing antennas.

- I added cables and pipes to the engine compartment.

- I drilled the plastic below the PE engine grilles to make them more realistic.
