According to Hannants, Aeroclub do an undercart, refuelling probe and arrestor hook, designed for the Airfix kit though. They also do a canopy, no specified kit, but I suspect Airfix again. Airwaves do an etched detail set for the Airfix kit, and a wingfold set for the Airfix, Matchbox and Frog kits. Aeroclub do bang seats too.

Flightpath do a set of ladders which includes 'some other details,' see here:

SAM also do a "Gulf War" resin set - useful as the Matchbox kit has neither weapons nor pylons. But crucially, it does have two crewmen!!

Cheers, Pat! Nice looking model yourself!

The intake trunking is simply 5 thou plastic card rolled into an oval and glued into place. At the ends, I placed the Airwaves compressor blades. Simple! :winkgrin:
