It would reshape the nose, but the Scimitar cries out for a good radar installation; your choice of operators.

Ferranti Airpass shouldn't have been too hard to fit and was proposed for the RAAF Mirage (Avon version).

Don't forget Scimitars predecessors:

I have the Maintrack 1/72 Vacform of the 508, and the Dynavector 1/48 Scimitar.

Indeed.  I have the Dynavector one in the stash too.

Good video to watch on the SuperMarine Scimitar:

YouTube > Not A Pound For Air To Ground Channel > Supermarine's Last Fighter: The Most Powerful Gun Battery Ever Deployed To A Carrier (https://youtu.be/ud2dx6MgbUA?si=9zVALjrsasyve73c)

What if the Scimitar was fitted with an actual all-weather radar and developed into an all-weather attack aircraft?  I like to imagine the Scimitar fitted with fuselage stores pylons to carry more weapons.  The wing stores pylons, especially the outboard stations would certainly benefit from having twin AAM launchers (as seen on the F-105, A-4, A-10, etc).
