There are really no 1/32 helo crew figures.  1/35 is close enough to work though.  I use them in 1/32 helos all the time.

A good plastic Vietnam crew is by Dragon.  It comes with two pilots and two door gunners.  There is an issue though, there is only one M23-doorgun mount (as used on Hueys) included.  You will either have to get two sets, or purchase an AM doorgun set from either Cobra Company or Bravo-6, both in resin.

Bravo-6 also does very nice pilots and door gunners in resin.  They are quite expensive though.

They also offer just the gun mounts and the gunners w/out guns as seperate kits too.

Cobra Company M-23 Doorgun set:

Here are a bunch of other options (some more modern) as well.
