In spite of the lack of updates there has been progress on this one. I'm down to paint and most decals on. I tried printing some 203 Sqn decals but not sure how good they are going to look so also looking for the 1/72 Nimrod set from Model Alliance that has them. One way or another I'd like to get some squadron markings on it before declaring it done.
For the paint scheme I really wanted something different from the normal Plain Old Gray seen on almost all members of the Predator/Reaper family so I went with a UK specific scheme based on the RN's Wildcat scheme with a Dark Sea Grey camo over Medium Sea Grey.
I'm also still trying to decide how best to replicate the sonobuoy dispensers the Sea Guardian will carry. I'd love to have sonobuoy dispensers and a pair of Stingray torpedos, but those are damned hard to find. Another option is no sonobuoys, just the search radar and an anti-ship missile fit. But again finding anything appropriate is hard. For the Sea Guardian's carrying capacity the Norwegian NSM fits best and I can't find that. Shapeways do have copies of SPEAR 3 which could be used for anti-shipping so it may end up carrying that when finally done.
Torn on building it on the landing gear or an inflight display. Something about the long wingspan just seems to want to be displayed inflight on a long rod implying high altitude.
Anyhoo, here she is so far. Last pic for size reference compared to a Hunter. Almost to a sticking point until I figure out the Squadron markings and underwing stores, but over a month to go, so I'm feeling confident.
