In 1/35 scale the best choice will be DAP kit (Academy call it AH-60L DAP)
There are SO MANY threads have been started about Somalia Black Hawks on ARC, FSM, and other forums... I am exhausted...
Gino, maybe its time already to pin this topic on the top of the every forum page right next to "Helo Crew" and "Vietnam Huey"?
Anyway here is

Dear DUBDUBS,
The DAP was actually created by guys who were in the actual battle. It was designed by Clifton Wolcott and Michael Durant. The DAP is probably your best option. The unit was 160th Special Operations Aviation Regiment. Hope everthing works out well for you.
