Beautiful! Is that straight OOB, or did you add anything?

Re: 1:48 Bell AH-1
Yes, for self defense against other choppers. In the late Cold War there was the worry that they would have to square off against Warsaw Pact gunships. Such helicopter dogfights happened in the Iran Iraq War, and possibly also in Lebanon in 1982 during the Bekkaa Valley fighting. They also could carry the AGM-122 SideARM, an AIM-9C Sidewinder that had been converted into an Anti Radar Missile. Apaches have a similar capability, and also have an air to air Stinger capability.

Very well done!
To make each build less crappy than the last one. Or, put another way, "Better than the last one, not as good as the next one!"..
Re: 1:48 Bell AH-1
Well done Peter!

Scratch built or AM / included in the kit ?
