CMK has just released a very nice resin windscreen of the pointy type to go with the conversion to the NOTAR, also I removed the front doors on the kit.

more work on interior and I will use the tall landing skids but I have shortened them a little to be more accurate.

Doug,
Nice build. Scratch work looks good so far.
I too have the same build intentions, and possibly an MD 600.
I'll stay posted keep up the progress.
