Given the constraints of transformation with the pylons attached, I would think they're considered mostly expendable.

Real aircraft don't tend to jettison the pylons at this point, and I don't know if they ever did, since they're fairly specialized hardware, and they don't contribute greatly to the weight of the plane, unlike the weapons mounted on them.  Emergency jettison buttons are a prominent feature in most fighter cockpits, but I don't think that applies to the pylons themselves.

I need to finish this. I've been on part 99 for a long time ( I think it's 99). The legs are a real piece of work getting it all to fit properly.

Unfortunately Shawn, I live outside the States 🙂. 
Here is a short video I made, so you can see this model in its full glory.

Is there anyway to still redeem the bonus gift pack with the pilots and patches?  Or is there anyway to purchase a set from somebody?

Thanks in Advance
