I  couldn't find any  ordnance in my  bits boxes  that looked right or different on this as they all hung  too low.  So, I  left it unarmed  and gave it a job in the navy  as a training aircraft.  This  aircraft  would  not  ne us3d for carrier  landing and takeoff training  so was kept as a standard  version.  Kit is the Airfix  1/72nd  one  and went together  really  well. I spent  several hours  over a few days doing the  decals as best as I could  as they are all individual letters and  numbers. When i come  to clear  coat  them the day after I  finished them I  found  one  of the serial numbers had thrown a wobbly  and curled up and  moved.  Like they do, so thats  no longer  its photogenic side.

Kit's Rule 1 ) Any aircraft can be improved by fitting longer wings, and/or a longer fuselage
Kit's Rule 2) The backstory can always be changed to suit the model

...and I'm not a closeted 'Take That' fan, I'm a REAL fan! :)

But does it have a hook?  ;D
It doesn't need one  Kit, as it won't be doing  any  carrier  training.
