Updates:
Finally completed in putting the TRex500 Pro into the fuselage. My intention is to test out the heli with the fuselage and see how it fly. Thus, what u see is just the bare/simple config.
The elevated tail cover that comes with this fuseage (Smartmodel) has the typical SmartModel design whereby the edge of the cover is not tapered. It is more like rectangular shape. In the real heli, the tail section is more like an aerofoil. That is, thick and round on the frontal side and tapered at the rear (something like a heli blade or airplane wing). Furthermore, if I were to use the stock cover, the elevated "triangular" linkages will be rubbing against the cover (because I refused to use flexible cable linkages). With that, I build my own elevated tail cover using thick printer photo paper and metal epoxy (and some medical tapes). What you see on the black-dark grey cover is the result of it.
Also, the elevated tail portion appears to be shorter...if compares to the real UH-72A. Thus, I leave the elevated tail (TRex) to that length.
If everything running smoothly, I will then continue in fixing up all the "Bells and Whistles".
Things I need to do after that:
1. Repaint the fuselage to the correct Olive Drab color.
2. Fix the front windshield centerline. Smartmodel is painted/drawn the windshield's centerline in a wrong shape/line.
3. Install the turbine exhausts. I left out installation of the exhausts because I need to repaint the heli. If I glue the exhausts now, it will be difficult to spray paint it without "overpaint" onto the exhausts.
4. Install all the necessary UHF, VHF antennas, wire cutters, landing skids stands and "pointed edge landing skids", Wipers if possible as well.
5. I already create some space inside the horizontal+vertical tail stabilizer. Thus, needed to add the anti-collision lights as well.
6. Sliding cargo doors as well.
7. Paint the tail blades to the correct color, Main head as well.
Now, is to find space (location) to fly it, and transportation to the closest funfly to test fly it.

Thanks quadflyer
Here is the slow motion video of the heli flying.
