Aerial work attachments

In this update to the project, I added some minor improvements to the basic design of the helicopter for a stronger model and also added new attachments to expand the helicopters roles.

The rear landing gear strut has been changed to a different part which supports the helicopter better when it is resting on the ground. It also has a hole for the rear step to attach to, removing the need for a clip on the bar.

The engine nacelles were only connected by a single stud in the original design which was prone to detaching, I changed the internal structure of the fuselage so the nacelle is now connected by two studs to resolve this.

The most notable feature of the update is the hook assembly, seen underneath the helicopter and the inset of the image. This is used to attach sling loads to the helicopter like bambi buckets for aerial water bombing of fires. The round tiles on the nose of the helicopter are for mirrors so that the pilot can see the load underneath the helicopter.

Thanks for the support and comments so far, keep an eye out for more updates and don't forget to tell your friends about this project.
