*UPDATE Aug 26*
I ended up getting the gatling gun from Shapeways. It's hollow in the front so it allows me to put the front gunner in better too and I think it looks nicer. Gunner now can fit in the front: Wild Bill's seat was modified so he can sit in there with his holsters. I just managed to get a SFII Heli-Fighter that had Dragonfly stickers and missiles already. I've since given up hope that Hasbro will make the Dragonfly again, so I went this route. I figured the Heli-Fighter would be less fragile since it's newer. I modified the seat for Wild Bill so the 25th one can fit in there with his holsters. For Wild Bill, I hated how high the pistols sit in the holster so I drilled a hole inside the holster so they can fit in lower. I also put the POC Wild Bill head on him since it's a bigger head. Very simple things, but now I'm happy to have a modern Dragonfly to add to my collection. The only downside is that the chin turret on the Heli-Fighter is the original style that elevates as well as swivel so my choices of gunner is very limited unless I decide to get the fixed chin turret so the figure can stick their legs into the turret. Wild Bill: with larger POC head and holsters drilled inside so pistols sit further in. The hole I drilled is the same size as the pistol tips so they actually fit into the hole which holds the pistols in place so I can turn him upside down and they won't fall out. Here's the Dragonfly seat for Wild Bill that I cut out the sides so his holsters fit. Here he is in there:

i absolutely love how you will make modifications to any an every thing to make it fit your vision. I've drilled out more holsters than i can count because i saw you do it. Do not go gently into that good night :-)

Female figure is a Terminator Salvation pilot and she comes with that helmet. The helmet from Wild Bill is from a 21st Century Huey pilot.

Just curious, does anyone have a good condition chin turret for the Dragonfly that is the second release? I'm looking for the one that is static and hollow so I can fit the figure's legs into it. The one on my custom is the nicer one that elevates as well, but the problem is that there is no room for the gunner's legs.
