Your model of NAVY UH-1B N9-882 '857' ('897' when I knew her) bought back a lot of memories.
Arguably the best UH-1B we had in the FAA. All the "B"s had the rescue hoist on the starboard roof.
I've worked on nearly every RAN "B" ('cept the crashed one's before I joined) and after my RAN service I went on to work on Army "H"s at Okey in QLD.

That's ok Scran, as 898 and I think 894 both had replacement civvie UH-1C tail booms.
Also, during my service all the main rotor blades were olive drab top and bottom with the 6" wide yellow rotor tip.

This was built same time as the others, but had to wait until I got some new decals (others disintegrated on use);

Wessex:
