Fly makes a really nice UH-1B Slick.The latest version is a complete computer redraw.
I built one up for my old boss who had been in the 136th. I did a little repaint to replace the AirCav/Playboy markings with Hot Stuff and some (faded) DayGlo orange markings

Mark,
When was the redraw released of the Huey? I thought the B model was a gunship version, at least that is the one I have Rick

It is the gunship, but the "B" model is the smaller airframe - only the sliding door on the side as opposed to the "D" model with the smaller aux. door in front of the slider.
The publication date is 2005 and ISSN 1233-9423. The cover art is dated 2000 and doesn't show any armament. Everything went together pretty well, although the frame needed quite a bit of sanding and trimming, and the skids were something of a pain as they're rolled, then bent to shape - brass wire a must there.

Shrike thats just a mod but you can put armament on pretty much any version. I flew the N model or the civilian 212 version and on that 1 I shot rockets of of pods. Definitely something I had never seen in the Army but this was a Marine modification and worked very well.
