I just finished kitbashing the Estes Bull Pup 12D into a sport scale Corvair MX-774 Hiroc.
I think everybody has an extra Bull Pup kit sitting idle. Finding these kitbash instructions gave me a good reason to build it.
I went back an forth between Mr. A. Roger Wilfong's kitbash directions and the old Centuri instructions.
Mr. Wilfong's kitbash directions are here;

You can see the entire build thread at my blog:

It's very robust built around a BT-55. The kitbash stands at 16 1/2", much taller than the old Centuri kit at 11".
(I know Blackshire is researching a Centuri sized MX-774. This is a different bird, a kitbash and larger model. I didn't want to "hijack" his thread.)
