I need a set of 1/72 scale UH-1D decals for a Vietnam era gunship. I have the 1988 issue of the AMT/Ertl kit and have misplaced the decals. I just need the US Nam era markings if you have the kit and used the IDF or Australian markings.
If not, I'll take any set of UH-1 markings.

Sorry, I don't have any in 1/72.  Two options though.  They would be easy to make your own with your computer and some computer printer decal paper.  Or, Fireball Modelworks has a set for UH-1D/H models in Vietnam.
On another note, what do you mean by UH-1D gunship? The US didn't use any UH-1D/Hs as gunships. If it is depicted as anything other than a UH-1D Slick (troop carrier) with just M60 doorguns, it is incorrect. All US gunships were UH-1B and C models. The Aussies did use UH-1D/H gunships though, called Bushrangers with forward M-134 miniguns, rear-mounted 7-shot rocket tubes, and dual M60s in the doorgun positions. They were pretty heavily armed.
