Here´s a picture of an AH-60L DAP sporting Stinger rails. |

Firstly, there is no such animal as an AH-60L DAP. Academy made up the name to sell kits. The AH (Attack Helicopter) designation is not used for Blackhawks. For US Army Blackhawks (and USAF Pavehawks) MH for Multi-mission Helicopter, is used. The MH-60L DAP is not an Attack Helicopter, but a helicopter gunship. They are very different roles and different aircraft.
Secondly, the one pictured was a demonstrator for the Aussies for their Attack Helicopter competition. It wasn't selected. The European Tigre, a real Attack Helicopter was.
Finally, US MH-60L DAPs usually (almost always) only use the shorter, one hardpoint ESSS wings. It was found that the longer ESSS wings allowed too many stores, which overweighted the aircraft and led to declining flight capabilities.
The Academy OH-58D Thugs boxing has the Stinger missile mounts included.
