Ditto on replacing those nozzles. There has been some discussion on the Hangar Pub along with the pics showing the nozzles popped off, so it looks like it should be somewhat easy to replace them. Just need to find a good kit and size up the pieces to the model properly.

I hate modifying a kit but in this case, it would be well worth it with such an otherwise great model, those nozzles look terrible.

I wish as well HM would make the same stand they do with the F-22 model. A straight through piece could be made that would allow for an inflight display with the center tank on if they cut a slot in the center line tank as well. Much better than the overly large cradles Hm has been using as of late.
