Dear all here is today's update...l put the 2 fuselages they don't fit perfectly but l managed to correct the gap, then l modified the tail boom (in the kit the UH-1C it's way to wide)...then the pilots are linked with the intercom and finally l put the exhaust with the rest....very happy how the helicopter is looking now...enjoy and have a nice evening...

This is fantastic, Greg, but I have a question.
Given that you have packed out the fuselage halves, won't you have trouble fitting the front glazing?

Crappy news about the job Greg
Fantastic build though! The detailing in the cockpit has really paid off, and the new panels look the business
