sorry for the double post...........ooops

I have the light in front of the mast installed, and drilled out the holes in the doghouse just in front of the inlets. the rotor head will get some wire but its pretty bland, not a lot to be done with it, but really anything else will help dress it up. There is no hole for the mast to sit IN so it sits atop the housing. I have focused my main attention on the inside. Also I scabbed on some sensors on the tail and will add antennas and such, as well as the mirrors and the usually-forgotten hoist light. Actually its not bad adding stuff inthis scale!

Would either of you fine gentlemen be able to scan and post a photo?  For all I know this may be the only helo I build in my life and I hate buying books for just 1 pic.

If oyu have strong feeling... like Lars from Metallica ... I understand.  But in thsi case it's no different than you reading a passage to meWhistling [:-^]

Knighthawk ref photos???

I have found tons of pics of the rotor head on Knighthawks and Blackhawks... but all taken more or less from the ground.  Anyone have, or know where to see, a good shot of the top?  Lots of cool hoses that will look nice on the 1/144 rotorTongue [:P]
