Abbreviations:

EAPS - Engine Air Particle Separator - special sand/dust filters - all airframes had the EAPS rails installed, and they used the EAPS filters in Gulf war. In the table above the airframes identified by pictures has YES in the "EAPS" cell.
Poles - means how many poles for wire antenna - 1+5+4 means two-row antenna, 1+8 means one-row antenna
SATCOM - Satellite downlink antenna on spine
RWR nose+tail - means the small bulge antennas on nose under the windshield and on tail pylon
2xRWR front, 2xRWR aft engine pylon - means the small RWR antennas on front and aft engine pylon, they were taken from the Vulcan bombers
IR jammer rails - means the rails on the aft fuselage, under engine pylon, they are for attaching the IR jammer
ERFS II - means the helo was updated so it can carry Extended Range Fuel System II fuel tanks in the cabin (the ones not updated can carry only ERFS, not ERFS II)
orange ID panel on spine - orange panel painted on top of the fuselage for quick identification from air of "friendly/foe", listed where there is a photo proof, but probably all airframes had it painted on
winch - means if the winch was installed on the right side above the front door

Note:

There are double letter codes in some pics. They were applied after the return from Gulf.
The "codes" were first white, then resprayed yellow.
Some machines were equipped with M-134 miniguns in the front doors, which had their upper part with window removed, and some of them had installed hoses for spent cartridges. Mostly SpecOps with "night" camouglages.

What is missing on Italeri/Revell 1:48 kit?

- EAPS rails
- EAPS itself (from 3D Boats)
- "flare boxes" on the sides of tail rotor pylon - included in CMK set (but wrong shape for Gulf machines !!!)
- missing RWRs on nose and tail - included in CMK set (but maybe wrong shape for Gulf machines)
- AN/ALQ-157 IR jammer racks - included in CMK set
- AN/ALQ-157 IR jammers - included in CMK set
- SATCOM antenna - for specific airframes
- lower row of pylons for wire antenna on the left side of the fuselage - for specific airframes
- holes for antenna pylons are in wrong place, they should be moved about 1-2 mm to the right, because in the kit they are drilled in place of the internal structure ribs, which is impossible (check pics for reference)
- no rivets at all on the fuselage

For airframes ZA671/O, ZA675/B, ZA677/U, ZA682/N and ZA684/L use the Airfix A06023 kit, for the rest use the Airfix A06024 kit.
