A few steps on, closed up the front end, need to do the seams yet. HobbyBoss wold have you put the IFR probe in place now, deployed, absolutely asking for it to be broken off and fed to the carpet monster. Plus there is no detail inside the compartment, just two ejector pin marks that are really fun to fix being at the bottom of a narrow chanel, and there is no actuator arm either.
So after trawling through lots of pictures I finally found one of an IRIAF Tomcat with the IRIAF probe stowed, quick check it's not from a flight sim and I'm happy, I can stow the one here.
IRIAF F-14As are usually seen with the IFR probe deployed, leading me to wonder was the servo prone to failure and they just welded them in place, and they all have the cover plate/compartment door missing. Apparantly these are very easy to knock off during in flight refuelling and are not something you want getting sucked down into the starboard engine, so the Iranians put them all in storage, if read that the USN will also remove these doors for exact same reason, but tend to replace them.
