After
searching for some time and contemplating custom decals that I feared, I found
these decals from Model Alliance in the UK.
The normal helicopter used by Presidents Nixon-Bush II, the VH-3, is
featured in a series of decals available through www.theaviationworkshop.co.uk.
The decals are offered in both 1/72 and 1/48 scale.

The
well-known white-topped Sea King is provided, as are support helicopters flown
by the Marine Squadron responsible for presidential helicopters (HMX-1).
The decal sheets have good detail, and the scans show well the detail in
the presidential seals. The
sheets, set USP-02, are all that is provided along with the instructions, making
any airframe modifications up to the modeler.
One thing not shown is the white sheet of decals that did not scan very
well. Overall,
it’s a subject with a lot of potential, and I look forward to seeing it done.
