WellYes, there is Iskovskih’s classification which is veryFano threefolds have been completely classified and one has explicit projective models of them. See V.A. Iskovskih, Yu. G. Prokhorov: Algebraic Geometry V: Fano varieties. Encyclopaedia of Math. Sciences 47, Springer-Verlag, Berlin 1999. See also Andreas Ott's thesis on Fano threefolds of picard number $\rho\ge 2$.

In some sense the most complicated Fanos are the ones with Picard number one, i.e., $Pic(X)\simeq \mathbb Z$. Here there are 18 families of such threefolds and they have been classified by Iskovskih. The most basic invariant here is the $index$ of $X$, i.e., the maximal integer $r$ such that $K_X$ is divisible by $r$ in $Pic(X)$. Fano threefolds of higher Picard number was classified by Mori and Mukai. This was one of the early triumphs of Mori theory.

Well, there is Iskovskih’s classification which is very explicit. See V.A. Iskovskih, Yu. G. Prokhorov: Algebraic Geometry V: Fano varieties. Encyclopaedia of Math. Sciences 47, Springer-Verlag, Berlin 1999.
