Beautiful Phantom.  What canopy did you use for the Wildcat and single-seat Phantom, they do look to be the same canopy and windscreen.

Thank you; yes, it is the same canopy/windscreen. It was created "from scratch" to fit the Wildcat/Tomcat fuselage as a single seater... and I think it looks great also on the Phantom ;)
Ah, thank you.  I was just wondering what I'd need to model this in 1/72.  I'll admit to being tempted to try a "Silent Wildcat" variation to go with my "Silent Tomcat"

Perhaps an F-15 canopy...?
The silent Wildcat would be great to see ;)

Thank you for your comments.
One of my first profiles was a canard Phantom, some years ago...

Neat.  I like the Yak-145 and An-55, especially.

I really like the RM Harrier! Any chance of a sandy brown/black one? I saw this documentary of the RMs in Borneo(?) and they had boats in that colour scheme that looked cool!

Yes, it is possible; do you have any photo of that colour scheme...?

Although I remember the brown being a bit lighter.

Hello
The Soviet naval aviation received their first special-version MiG-15s in 1952 and used them aboard the Crimean Class Aircraft carriers

The F-4 looks cooly Viggen-esque and the Mig 15 is very well done. Nice stuff.

So how will you fold the wings on your MiG-15?  Fold over the top like the Panther and others or sideways like the Avenger and Hellcat?  Either way would be interesting to see and your location of the tail hook on your MiG looks perfect.  Thanks for the inspiration.

Gorgeous and very much worth the wait.  Any chance of a Harrier II (Harrier GR. 5/7/9) in a similar scheme?  Or, failing that, a Harrier GR.3A (GR.3 with the LIDS on the gunpods and such from the AV-8C)?

Yes, that naval MiG is very tasty  :)  For wing folds, what about straight up like the Grumman Cougar?

That's a most attractie MiG-15K.  For wing folds, how about straight up just outboard of a wing fence; you've got a good place there for the hinge structure.

That bare metal MiG soon would have a lot of issues conected with using it on sea. Maybe another profile, "later colours", painted with grey, overall blue, or blue/gray colours? I know they would look similar to RN and USN colour, but I'm sure that you can add some "soviet twist" into it.

Concerning the wing-fold on the MiG-15, I think a hinge paralel to the outer wing fence is the most pratical, as suggested by elmayerle.
