AH-6M Little Bird Gunship Conversion Kit – 1/35 (Dragon MH-6J / AH-6J / OH-6 / MD-500)

This conversion set transforms earlier Dragon Little Bird releases into a current-generation AH-6M gunship configuration. It replaces legacy kit components with precision 3D-designed resin parts to achieve the correct modern special operations aviation fit, including updated structural elements, rotor assemblies and weapons systems.

Engineered specifically around Dragon tooling, this set provides the structural and configuration changes required for an accurate AH-6M build rather than a simple armament addition.

Designed for the following Dragon kits:

• MH-6J

• AH-6J “Night Stalkers”

• MH-6 / OH-6

• MD-500 variants

Kit Contents

Airframe & Structural Components

• Updated instrument console

• Rear bulkhead

• Fuselage brackets and external fittings

• Wide chord tail assembly

• Four-blade tail rotor

• Six-blade main rotor hub

• Modern aerials and mission-specific fittings

Weapons & External Systems

• Weapons plank and mounting system

• 2 × M134 Miniguns (multiple barrel configurations)

• 1 × GAU-19 heavy machine gun (multiple barrel options)

• Rocket launcher options

• Ammunition boxes and feed components

All components are produced in high-detail resin using modern CAD design and precision manufacturing methods to achieve accurate scale thickness and surface refinement. Clear instructions are included to guide the full AH-6M conversion process.

The AH-6M represents the modern armed development of the Little Bird family, operated by the U.S. Army’s 160th Special Operations Aviation Regiment. Evolving from earlier light observation and attack variants, the AH-6M incorporates upgraded rotor systems, structural refinements and mission-adaptable weapons configurations suited to contemporary close air support and precision strike roles.

Its compact airframe, exposed weapons mounts and specialist operational use have made it one of the most recognisable modern special operations helicopters.
