I haven't been able to find a conversion set for the 1/144 HS Comet 4C to be turned into the BAe Nimrod MR.1.
Would it be that difficult to achieve? Once I have the necessary moulds a whole host of Comrods can be built sort of evolution in stages.

I converted a Trident into the Avro 776 maritime patrol aircraft, which was a similar conversion. For the weapons bay under the fuselage I used a PVC pipe sliced lengthwise. You just need a pipe of the right diameter. Alternatively, build ribs and stringers.
It'd be easier to use a 144 scale Nimrod though.
