This is the main body of a helicopter - i.e. the bit between the cockpit and the tail boom. Is there a specific technical term?

As per Google:

Airframe tends to refer to the whole aircraft. When an airline talks about buying planes, for example, they talk about purchasing x number of airframes.
You could even get away with using body, but I'm pretty sure that fuselage is the way to go.

In an airplane, the term fuselage refers to the tube, but not the wings and tail and undercarriage, so you can see by analogy that the term applies to helos as well, that is, to the main body. Airframe, even under the Garzanti definition provided by Monia, instead covers the whole animal.
