And what radar is on top of the mast? can't find any info on this either...

The US Navy has used the CH-46 for VERTREP (Vertical
Replenishment, or supply movement by helicopter) for the
last 35 - 40 years. I don't think that this class of ships was
in service before that.

Top radar is almost certainly SPS-10. Helo-wise, with no hangar I'm not sure she'd have carried a helo in service.

Heli: UH-46 (temporary)
Radar: AN/SPS-10
It looks like odd in your reference line drawing.
Same in the case by thiels LST-1179 reference line drawing.

Looking very nice! Awaiting the completion of the superstructure parts

her stern is a bit wrong. it has that type of cruiser stern some are bit flat and round in the same time. so you need a line that shows that.
