After final information came in from my nephew, I had enough information to see what markings I could use on my last MQ-9 Reaper. Once decals were applied, I now have a replica of one of the MQ-9 Reaper drones he flies the most:
I apologize for the quality of some of these pics. My camera seemed to be unable to focus on this little model.
Thanks for looking in, comments are welcome.

We are modelers - the same in spirit, in hunger to insanely buy newly released kits, hustlers in hiding our stash from our better halves and experts in using garbage as replacements for after-market parts.

Pretty neat Mark - and a great relation to the subject. I've got a 1/48 in the stash.
Thanks,
John

Nice!

Re: The Duke's Third Aircraft in April
Nice one Duke! And a nice personal touch with your nephew flying this bird.

Re: The Duke's Third Aircraft in April
Very nice work Mark! What size manned aircraft would you say has around the same wingspan as this drone?

Very nice Stuart!
