thanks for posting these updates -- it's a nice looking bird.

Without its upper stages, the forshortened appearance kind of reminds me of
the Vostok launcher...

Anyone know if there's a reason why the outer tail-service masts (I assume
that's what they are) are grey, and not white like the center ones? Since
they've been there (unused) for the previous launches, it's not as though
they need to be refurbished differently...
