Hi

I got the model and I must share I'm very pleased with it.

I made some dryfit to check the pannel assembly, and I had no bad surprise

details are subtle and it renders well the composite fuselage

I think that KH made the choice to offer several versions for various markets. This brings to some compromises n the model layout.

In my opinion, we have to respect this, helicopters is not such a big market like spitfires and I'm thanksfull to KH to produce this one.

So why this layout ? it enables to get, starting from the tail :
2 types of tails, composit and metallic, for any Dolphin
2 types of tailbeams, as US Coastguards have an armour on it
2 types of rear cover, as there is also an APU on USCG airframesn

Not shown here, 2 types of turbines outlets, and 2 types of housing behind them, allowing also MH-65C or D or AS-565 N3+
2 types of doors, plus USCG side
2 types of roof, as USCG roof is also different
3 types of nose windows configurantions (already in the box)
Short or long nose

So far, it fits well. You build first the inside, and the outside goes around it
