All the input I can give on this, is that some Units had panels over the Control Closet...
And some didn't....

An interesting detail concerning the angle of the top of the circuit breaker panels, as seen from the side. (behind seat)
Here's a straight-on shot of Go-Go Niner's skeleton, showing position of breaker panel...

My vote is Yes concerning the fwd pylon. Compare the width of the rain shield on the kit, to that of a real Chinook (note the position of the Jesus Bolt in relation to the rain shield).... therein lies the problem; the top of the fwd pylon is not wide enough, and the rim around the top of the pylon, from the Crown panel around the back to the other side, doesn't flare out enough. This, in-turn, affects the "slant". 
Also, note the buldge on the sides, which is too high and the crease too drastic.
Hope this helps...
Take care,
Frank
