For cutting the doors off, carefully scribe along the opening a few times until it goes through, then clean it up with a file and sandpaper. I have done it on the same helo kit. It is pretty easy to do.

For figures, check out the Helo Crew Figures post stickied on the main Rotary Wing Forum page at the top. They are all 1/35th, but are the closest to 1/32 and fit great. Again, I have used them in 1/32 helos often.

For decals, check out Fireball Modelworks. He doesn't have a set of OH-6 SAR decals specifically, but does have other SAR sets that may work.

Good luck.
