Boom are expanding on previous development, only more efficiently.
For flight testing a scale model, they could use a F-5E Tiger [0] ($1-5m each, de-milled) to test the wing and nose aerodynamics, keeping as much systems as possible from the original jet. NASA have done similar modifications before [1]
I expect this will be more of a project management challenge than a technical challenge.
