RHIBs are available at Shapeways
Recently put in an eBay order, so now they pester me with email ads. Got ready to delete it, but glanced down. Saw a nice modernization upgrade set for the new 1/700 Flyhawk Bunker Hill. Made by EVModels. Doesn't have RHIBS, but looks like pretty much everything else...all the domes, Mk 38 guns, Nulka, SPQ-9B radar, even the bridge wing MK 20 EOSS optical system.
It's an eBay item, so I am not linking it.

EV MODEL 1/700 3D kit Print upgrade kit CG 52 USS Bunker Hill 1992 on the site. Only one vendor selling it that I have found.
The on site picture shows two photo images of the ship, with the parts they provide, and arrows pointing to where on the photos of the real ship they are.
The upper photo/parts set is basically just 3D prints of items already in the kit. In that sense, it is much like the deluxe version, and I am not sure how much better quality these parts might be over either the injection parts, or the deluxe kit's 3D parts. So, in this sense, it is perhaps a bit of a waste.
The lower photo/parts set is "what it's all about." These are the modernization parts!
Now, I have to figure out what to do. I have the Dragon Mobile Bay, and between the modernizing parts it came with, and stuff I added, I am "all set." I have to decide how much I want to replace it with both this new kit, and this upgrade set. A lot of money to replace a sentimental old stalwart in my collection. I may well pass.
But, for those of you out there who have, or plan to get the Fyhawk kit, and want to modernize it, here's a handy set.
