I recently got a 1/35 Trumpeter Mi-8mt/Mi-17 (HIP H) model kit and I was wondering if there are any conversions available to turn it into a gunship?

There is a guy on eBay offering a weapons set for it. I haven't used it but it looks pretty good.

Interesting... and it looks pretty good too. But, the set doesn't include any other rocket pods but for the 80mm and I don't see any front mounted 12.7mm MG or ATGM missiles/rails.
