I like it a lot Aussie Iron.  I have the 1/35 Dragon kit in my stash. Looking forward to that build one day.

I was just checking out your photobucket - you sure do have an eclectic range of modelling subjects! Most impressed.

The Aussie's used the D/H with armament packages. 

Right, that is why I said no US Army UH-1D/Hs were gunships.

The Aussie armed D/H model Hueys were known as Bushrangers.  They were normally armed with an M134 minigun on the forward hardpoint, a 7-shot rocket launcher on the rear hard point, and dual-mounted M60 MGs on a pintle mount on each side.

It is actually a 1/32 Revell kit.  It looks pretty good, but Revell got the type wrong.  The long-bodied Huey was never used by the US Army as a gunship.  US gunships were all B and C model (short-body) Hueys.  It should be a slick, armed w/the M23 doorgun system.
