Tamiya 1/72 Jaguar GR-1.  Made in Italy which makes me think it's a reboxed Italeri kit.
You are correct in that thinking. Italeri have a re boxing arrangement with Tamiya that allows easier access for Italeri to the Japanese market for some of its 1/72nd aircraft kits. It also allows Tamiya to fill gaps cheaply in its own line up.

And it's a LOT better than the rather ancient Airfix offering too.
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! :)

A trip to London to have the lovely wive's car serviced netted me : Zvezda LI-2 in 200 scale, to become a US floatplane for my Goose dio, and the Airfix Higgins LCVP

You must have passed pretty close to me as you went over the Severn Bridge, you should have waved as you went past.#

It's a LONG way from Canada just to get a car serviced I'd have thought?  ;)

It's the resin and white metal kit. Got a 1/72 Lockheed SR-71 Blackbird in the stash, might alter it to look similar.

If you had the money to buy one of these;

You have to keep the shipping crate it comes in.  That's because when you want to service it, you have to send it back to the factory ---

NARSES2

Just got another Airfix Beaufighter in Fenwicks of Newcastle. This one will be Dutch but not sure if NEIAF with the "National Flag" style markings as I have a sheet for Dutch Mitchells or as an RAF Coastal Command squadron returning home after the War with orange triangles replacing the RAF roundels. Again I have a Coastal Command sheet with a Dutch Sqd on it - I think ? I'm a long way from home at the mo
Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.

'Small' addition: the bloody ENORMOUS 1:48 HobbyBoss YF-23. Replaces the TSR2 as a strike aircraft in the near future after a valiant career. That's the basic back-story anyway!
