Yes. Yes. Yes

How about a F-100 or a F-107 modified for USN carrier trials?




See here and here for more.

Also look for this booklet:

Thank you Greg. I already allocated one F-100 kit to be the F2J. And a F-107 to be a F3J. Not sure why NA decided to call the F-107 it a FJ-5. It is not the 5th version of the FJ-4. Being a whole new airframes, both the F-100 did and F-107 should used existing method of adding and incrementing the "x"in the USN FxJ taxonomy.

Holy crap, the next boxing of the Gnat F.1 is going to have Hotshots "The Navy" markings!

SH72322 Folland Gnat F Mk.I  British Single Seaters 1/72

The British Folland Gnat light jet fighter was evaluated also by the RAF, but only its two-seat trainer version known as the Gnat T.1 entered the RAF service. The flight tests of the F.1 version took rather long time during which various colour schemes were applied to the machines. The most attractive of them are presented in our superbly detailed model, which as you most probably already know is injected within steel moulds. The decal sheet brings you also markings for so-called Oscar EW-5894 Phallus fictional machine famous from an early 90´s spoof of heroic aviation movies.

The model itself comes with three sprues with plastic parts, one clear plastic sprue and contains also a couple of resin parts for various antennae and air intakes that were characteristic for pre-production and trial machines.

I love it! Although I'd probably buy another Airfix one (LOVELY wee kit!) and use The Navy decals on that.

Anyone know if the Quickboost Sea Vixen FAW.1 corrected nose for the Cyberhobby kit is also applicable to Cyberhobby's FAW.2?

I'll have to see if I can lay my hands on the FAW.2 conversion I have quickly to check (means searching all through the stash boxes) but IIRC all the difference is was the shorter fuselage between the nose and cockpit

@Story - Get it while you can!  That CMK model is a bit hard to anywhere but CMK (this link:------> CMK 129-3140 Solothurn S-18/1000 20mm AT Rifle).  The Cri-El models S-18/1000 kit is as detailed but much more fragile.
