I have an X-47B in 1/48. Its Pacific Minatures but, and there is no way any kitbasher is getting their dirty fingers on to it!

Yep. Basically the same as the photo but with a wooden stand, different markings (bigger NG swishes) and an IFR probe.

It is a sweet little kit - I have two.  I just wish someone would release a 1/48 version or even a 1/32 version...
