Fujimi UH-1B Black Bunny and 500MD TOW question....

Hey ya'll, got a couple questions for ya, maybe someone out there knows something about these..

First, Im interested in Fujimi's 1/48 UH-1B "Black Bunny" kit.....Now, before you all laugh at me for this, I know that its a horribly detailed kit, because I built the Testors version about 17 years ago when I was just starting up the hobby, and Im *assuming* its pretty much the same kit, but I wanna build a desktop model with a wood base, and kind of as a "one-off" version and just have some fun with it...  My question is, does anybody know if its molded in Light Gray or not?  I know the Testors version was molded Olive, but I just kinda have a preference copters molded in Gray for some oddball reason!   Also, did that kit include any weapons mounts?

Secondly, I seem to recall a while back that there was either plans for, or already was, an aftermarket upgrade kit for the 1/48 Fujimi Hughes 500MD TOW kit, specifically parts to make an MD500E version (streamlined pointed canopy, new T-Tail end plates, doghouse fairing, ect.).  Does anybody know anything about this, or are there any other aftermarket kits available out there? 

Thanks for any info!  It is greatly appreciated!
