Any of the Dragon/DML Little Bird, OH-6 or Hughes 500 kits is are good start. They're quick builds, the paint scheme is real easy (all black in the case of the LB, OD in the case of the OH-6A) and there are only a few minor fit problems.

The Academy 1/35 UH-1Cs are good as well. They go together pretty easily and have everything in the kit that you need to make a great looking helo.

I'll second both of those suggestions and add my own. The MRC OH-58D is a GREAT kit! Good detail, good fit and builds up into a really nice model of an early Kiowa Warrior. If you want to bring it up to current standard, minor modification is needed, but even that's pretty simple. Overall a really good build!

None that I have heard of. There was a resin company that had all sorts of hype about it, Night Flight Models (Fly -by-Night, Hmm..), but they have gone the way of the dodo bird. They never got past some gee wiz GC drawings. Personally think they were all smoke and mirrors from the start.
