              Thanks Neil as l said.. it was one hell of a challenge.... but fortunately l managed to save the glass..... for the exhaust.. well it won't be seen... but you might see a little bit from the left grill... so i decided to make it...

                    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?
