Just got this one finished. A lovely kit I've added a little basic scratch building to. I detailed the sensor turret, added brake discs and calipers to the main wheels. I also made a new torgue link to replace the clunky one-piece moulded affair on the nose leg. I roughed out some chocks for the wheels too. Short build thread here.
I made some FOD covers for the intake and exhaust and some protection for the pitot tubes. I also drilled out holes for the pilot's view ports in the nose near the main pitot tube and glazed them with some small discs made using a micro punch and die set (worth it's weight in gold for this build as I also used it for the turrent sensor glazing.)
The main colours are done with Xtracolour, and markings are from Caracal decals excellent sheet.
If anyone else is considering this, the propellor is represented incorrectly, and I separated the blades and changed the incidence as a basic fix. (If the real vehicle had Skunkworks' prop' fitted it would accelerate rapidly in a direction exactly opposite to that intended by the General Atomics designers!) I'd like to have it armed with four Hellfires too, but the kit parts are horrible, and I couldn't source any alternatives.
Thanks for looking.

UNDERSTEER - is when you hit the wall with the front wing. OVERSTEER - is when you hit the wall with the back wing. HORSEPOWER - is how fast you hit the wall. TORQUE - is how far you can take the wall with you.
There is a theory which states that if ever anyone discovers exactly what the universe is for it will instantly disappear and be replaced by something even more inexplicable. There is another theory which states that this has already happened.
