This one is the old Airfix F3.  I replaced the cable ducts with longer, fatter ones.   I shortened the tailplanes and added some card to represent the arrestor hook.  The decals are a mix of Xtradecal and Modeldecal who both make sheets for this scheme.  The IFR and Firestreaks were stolen from an MBox T55 kit.   I really botched the canopy  - it ended up pretty frosty.   Same wobbly freehand anti-dazzle panel at the T4!
