Guys, the nose pitot does not necessarily denote a D model. Granted almost all D's started with nose pitot tubes, but the roof mounted pitot was a MWO not a model feature. I trained students in the mid to late 70s at rucker in D's that had been converted to H's that still retained the nose pitot. H's that came off the assembly line did come with roof mounted pitots, but the MWO teams that changed the nose to roof mounted pitots did not get all the D's that had been converted to H's at least into the late seventies. I speared a buzzard with the nose pitot on a night flight with students in a H model.
I do agree this model has many inaccuracies. The cargo door was a civilian Bell 205 tailboom but Panda for some reason places the tailrotor on the army left side. Civilian 205's basically had the cobra tailboom and right side mounted tailrotor assembly with the cargo compartment built into the tailboom.
Anyway, a great job with the model. Love your weathering and painting.
