The zrevell kit was troublesome at most steps, as well. You’ll get it!
To make each build less crappy than the last one. Or, put another way, "Better than the last one, not as good as the next one!"..

Thanks. Yeah I've built both before, then combined them to build the bird from the TV Series The Whirlybirds.

You’re off to a fine start! I built the Revell 47 years ago. I would not mind building another as an early 1st Air Cav Vietnam scout.

That is excellent! Imagine doing one in 1/72 scale. I did.... four times.

Nice little assembly there! Helicopter model? I'm guessing that is the engine?

Thanks. Yes, helicopter, and yes the engine. I built one of the Italeri 1/72 kits.
