Depends on how detailed you want to get. It will build up nicely straight from the box. It does need another flare/chaff box on the tailboom. There should be two on each side. Also, the sponson boxes (only left if you go with the refeuling probe) are too narrow and do not represent L model ones that have the roll stabilizer bars in them. CC makes the correct width ones in their MH-60L correction set. No other parts are really neaded to update it. The CC MH/HH-60G set does have some nice additional pieces that can be added, like a control box for the external winch, new instrument panel and center consoles, pilots' seats with belts molded onto them, fire extinguishers and first aid kits, gunners' consoles, rotor brake, and a bunch of other small items. I used these sets when I built mine. I also used the M230 Cannon set as well. You can check it out here:

The Eduard sets look nice as well, but I have not used them before. Personally don't like PE myself.
You may also want to get the CC 7.62 ammo chutes out of the UH-1N upgrade set as well, since the kit doesn't come with any ammo chutes for the miniguns. Chris at CC will sell them separately. I also added empty casing chutes from coiled tubes left over from an old Star Wars Speader Bike model as well. May want to scratch the FRIES rig FASTROPE attachments as well.
Depends on how much detail you want to put into it.
