I finished drilling out the fans and glued the new ones into the holes

I first airbrushed the fans in cnr green. I had planned to use the last of my True-line paint but that had congealed so I opened up my bottle of Rapido CNR Green. I was a bit nervous as I had never used Rapido's paint before but to sprayed well and matched the original paint on the engines. Another reason I'm relieved that the Rapido paint worked well is I have a couple passenger cars to repaint and I'll be using the same Green on them.
Before I glued the fans on I drilled and added the lifting eyes to the roof and filled the holes where the original horns and the aftermarket bell were. I'll be painting those over next.

I'm going to be using the three chime horn out of the Rapido engine bits package on the F-3a and probably use the roof mounted bell on the F-7a. I already painted them and they can go right on.
