Thanks for all the words of encouragement on this build, everyone, as it is greatly appreciated. I am getting close to the finish line, however. The pylons just were installed as were the drop tanks. I also added the red exhaust plugs to the burner cans and these were made out of sheet stock and painted red. Next will be the canopy installation and the test fit looks like it will fit pretty well. Stay tuned! Best wishes, Ian    |

Thanks for all the supportive comments as I complete my cage match with HobbyBoss, gents! So I added the Squadron vacuform canopy and it fit perfectly on the Zenghfu nose. This really corrected the horrible shape of the HobbyBoss mess and makes the Vark front end look sleek like it's supposed to. I also added in the overhead center console which the canopy sections that swing up, attach to. I will add pieces of rolled up foil to the canopy panels to simulate the pull-down blast shields for the crew which is probably good to have when you are nuking things for SAC. Stay tuned. Regards, Ian   |
