If you can find the dimensions it will be easy enough to scratch build (its
basically a body with a sharp end on the front and a flat end on the back)
failing that ..........contact me and I'll try to dig one out of my Airfix
weapons set for ya.

Brilliant idea. I googled phimat + dimensions, and got the length and
diameter from Jane's.com. Turns out the Phimat has almost the same
dimensions as an AIM-7 Sparrow. However, an even better match was a
spare Russian AAM (R-77, I think, from the Italeri Su-34 kit). A
little sanding to sharpen the nose and clean up the tail, and presto!
No fine detail, but no one will notice in 1/72 with the model hanging
from the ceiling.
