Academy had a Huey-C as a gunship but that is old
Maybe Panda has one
Dragon only has a Huey-N as a gunship or the D as a Vietnam version but that is a reular one with only door gunners

Hard to find in 1/35 scale. I have a Dragon kit in the stash which seems good.

Thanks all. Not a large selection, but the Dragon/Panda may do the trick

After a little bit of digging i found that Academy had several versions of the Huey including a couple of gunships but all are older kits and no longer in production so maybe a search on evil bay could help
