Robert, I'll tell you about an error you made on the sea king because I made it too myself. If you looked closely, you noticed perhaps that the inner wheels on both front wheel carriages are not touching the ground surface. At first I thought this was a kit error, but then I realized (maybe by looking at reference pictures) that I had erroneously removed part of the sponson fixing struts to be able to glue the sponsons against the hull. In the real helicopter, they have about 10cm spacing between the hull and them. When you put them apart again and add about 2mm of strut between, the carriage will touch on all 4 wheels. You only need to repaint the part that was behind the sponson, which is not so conspicuous.

This is how I repaired it:
