Enclosed are the photos of my dream project. The first is one, Brother Rackman sent me that might consider in changing from military pod carrier to fire fighter helicopter that dumps water on wild fires. The second photo is my first draft of the bird it self. The lower left of the plan what looks like an arrow head is two sections of the landing gear supports. I just drew them together. The fuselage is four inches wide and each landing part is four inches. So for a total of twelve inches that's the clearance between the rear wheel wells. Next is a picture of a Vietnam era CH54 Skycrane and the last showing a 450 main frame over the blue print. Have already ordered the 5 blade main rotor head and know the real bird carried 6 blades but that's fine by me. No one at present makes a 450 6 blade head. If I choose to go with the fire fighter vision I paint it in the colors San Francisco Fire Department (went there for graduate school and earned my masters) or San Diego Fire Department. Either way to honor our fire fighters in which my son is one 
Another deep consideration for the latter is the shape of the main blades I found on ebay that weren't used in the 60s/70s Skycrane. These are 315mm long and the tips are about 30-45 degrees left angle. What you'll see on the Blackhawk Helicopter today and figure they would look good on my bird. I'll send you a photo soon.
. Taking my time and will shorten the height of the cab by 1/2" from the bottom, looks a little too big. Made this observation after looking at photo you sent me.
