A company called Litaki Model Kit have done a 1/72nd scale model of the Soko J-22 Orao. The Orao was a twin-Viper-powered "mini-Jaguar" built as a joint project between Yugoslavia and Romania. As far as I know it's never been kitted before:

I have a resin kit of the Orao.

Not in plastic, no. First Orao plastic kit.

Give it a chisel nose and RAF markings and that will have a few people scratching their heads.

Back of my mind says that I might have a resin kit of this in the back of my stash cupboard. I know I have the Super Galeb by L&M.

I still might get one of these anyway.

Don't even need the chisel nose if you give it French markings...

You could say that the Jaguar programme fell apart in the early days (as so many Anglo-French projects did). This left the AdlA in need of a cheap F-100 replacement and a new advanced trainer, so Dassault collaborated with Germany (who needed a G.91 replacement) to build a subsonic Jaguar-like aircraft around two Larzac engines, in single-seat strike and two-seat trainer versions.

As for the RAF, they bought 150 more Harriers and the Hawk, but with the latter powered by a new light turbofan developed from the Viper.

Yeah, I did realize that after I posted the suggestion that you could just put the French laser sensor under the nose for a French machine. The idea might have something to do with having a spare clear resin nose for the Hasegawa Jaguar.

Sprue shots and instructions are available at Scalemates, and it looks nice from a distance, even if there's a tad more PE than I normally would deem necessary. Also - five pieces for one bang seat, all PE unaccounted for?! 
I refer to Kit's earlier forum thread on the matter.. 

A model of the two-seat NJ-22 Orao has been announced (not in stock yet):

Somewhat further away, I suspect, is this 1/144th scale model of a Tu-22M Backfire:

Hello!
I publish photos of test plastic frames
the glazing frame will be made of transparent plastic - in the photo there is a test sample made of gray plastic for testing

    

1/144 Tu-22M would be perfect for scaleoramaing into 1/72.  Maybe use a MiG 25 or 31 nose and cockpit?

An su-15/21 front end fits perfectly in the minicraft version.
