So far, it actually looks better than a Vixen &, almost, as ruggedly handsome as the Phantom.

That is ticking a lot of boxes.
Very nice idea

Love this! Another classic case of "Why didn't I think of this"!
I had no idea the Vixen was as big as a Phantom. I just assumed it was smaller for carrier ops. Will the Phantom tail have a rear facing radar?

No mate, still a brake poarachute. It does look like a radar though.

The whole flows together very nicely. Given the size of the tail cone relative to the original, I think you'd have room for braking chutes and a radar fit. (I'd probably do something like a manned tail gun, but I am a little eccentric...)

This aircraft blend looks so right it's a wonder it wasn't a "was".
