Replace the original SCUD missile with a large cannister of similar dimensions to the original missile and call it an upgrade to a new weapon system that was designed to replace the SCUD missile. As for physical details, well, leave that to their collective imaginations.

An update from last night on the inside details for the bomb bay. I discovered that the added features I had installed on the inside of the fuselage halves was interfering with the rear crew compartment bulkhead and side walls. A small oversight on my part caused by my enthusiasm to add in features, I went a bit too far in that area it would appear. While I was at it, I also removed some of the forward features that would not be visible from the bomb bay due to it being obscured by the nose wheel well bay module that fits under the cockpit floor. The height of the details was also reduce so that I could install a roof at a later date to cover the emptiness which would be an area for the fuel tanks above the bomb bay roof.

An additional strip of Evergreen plastic strip was added to the bottom of the bomb bay edges as a sort of skirt. This was done to provide more material for what would be an open area that on a real aircraft would have received some kind of additional reinforcement to give the structure some strength. There was a part in the kit that was supposed to be attached in this same area that held four bomb shapes along the sides and a pair of cross braces to fill in the front and rear. All of this was quite featureless and left the bomb bay area without much in the way of features.
