                        Cuyrrent AH/MH-6J aircraft have a 5-blade main rotor. There is a newer version currently being tested w/ 6 blade rotor. I think the 6th blade is in the Dragon kit because it was easier to mold two of the same sprue, 3 blades on each, than to make two separate sprues with different parts, to get 5 blades (even vs. odd #).

                        Yep, Gino's got it right. The new MH-6Ms have six bladed rotors, making them EVEN QUIETER! They're also stretched a bit. I agree, its easier to mold two sprues of the same parts and have one extra blade than to make a mold for two different sprues.
