Thankee! And apologies to all for the sloppy posting - I was typing in haste before heading off to work this morning and didn't realize how many errors I'd made 'til much later.
Hopefully a bit better now.
Greg - yes, an acquaintance at starship Modeler took it for an Ultralight at first - understandable, since parasols tend to be smaller aircraft. this is intended to be 1/350th, though...
Few more snaps - these first two are an attempt at the stub wings, using plastic fork tines, half-rounds, and thin sheet.
They turned out ok for a first attempt, but weren't quite what I wanted for the look, so I used the wing tips from the Fords. Still, I expect I'll use the technique again soon enough.
There will also be a 'Reaktor' hung in the curve forward of the central pylon.
