Easy Model also do a nice pre-constructed, pre-painted range of Hueys in approx. 1:48. You used to be able to get them on eBay for less than £10 each but it's harder to do so now. All my slicks are Easy Models.

As NurgleHH states,  Corgi have a good range of die-cast Hueys if you want gunships (they have Cobras too) and medi-vacs. They are pretty expensive these days though.

The Hobby Boss Huey is a rather nice kit, cheap as chips and about as simple as kits get. The downside is that it's a C model, which was largely a dedicated fire support version and Hobby Boss thoughtfully provide no weapons for it.

Italeri make 1/48 UH-1D and H models if you are looking for slicks but the complexity and price goes up considerably.
