Hi, I'm not known for 1/48 but here is the start.
It's the Skunk model works Reaper with Caracal decals for the RAF option.

Pitot tube replaced with brass tube and rod after being broken off even though it was the last thing to be fitted!

Enjoy

Thank you Samuel, I spent several hours trawling the net for pictures to get the right look and to see if FOD covers were fitted as the kit other wise has a see through hole where an engine should be, luck has it they do have FOD covers

The lower part of the nose gear was also a bit of a net trawl for the colour as neither Skunkworks nor Caracal call out the correct colour, I'm not saying mine is completely correct but at least it's not black. Photos seem to show a dark metallic green/bronze colour.

The kit weapon decals are a few short but again the net turned up Hellfire's with different markings.
