The RAAF is replacing their AP-3C(EW)s in the next year or so with a new fit-for-purpose ELINT platform based on the Gulfstream G550, a number of air arms operate EW and AEW variants based on the G550 including Israel, Italy, and Singapore.
I am slowly modifying a Sova M Shavit kit as an MC-55A, it is the kit that is closest in configuration to the proposed MC-55A

Some mocking up with my yet-to-be-finished GIV
I moved on to sorting out the tail area and cockpit, I wasn't sure how to tackle it and then decided Milliput was the way to go.

It still needs some filling and possible further refinement
The cockpit was straightforward with some nice detail
The paint stage has now commenced on the cockpit as well.
And how it looks taped up
