Some time ago I bought on Ebay (US) this nice model of a S-58C in standard livery (SABENA, New York AW)
Made of wood and metal details, rubber tyres... Perfect shape. Scale 1:50th. Made by the masters of Tenshodo, Japan.

Lovely model. Tenshodo was a Japanese hobby store that took orders and had models made by several people. During the Korean War many pilots stationed in the area had models of their aircraft made by this store.
This one shown was most likely made by Takashi Nemoto as the color of paint on the windows appears to be his special 'trademark'. You would need the stand to be sure as these were the makers choice and Nemoto models were all the same, I believe.

I have a huge and extremely heavy metal Sabena travel agency model of the S-58.
