Senior Pilot's teaser (post 19) is kind of fun to try and figure out.

For example:

At :07 is that skid landing gear?
At :23-25 I see the crew door/window then three pax windows, so at least maybe 12 pax (4 across x 3 rows?)
At :28-29 the main rotor head appears, with big old lead-lag dampers (no fancy composite construction?)
At :11 and :34 a nice riveted panel joint (again, no fancy composites).

So, from all this I can glean we have a 12 pax, skid-gear equipped, conventional aluminum fuselage constructed, multi-bladed helicopter with a fairly standard main rotor head.

I guess we shall know soon enough!
