Making something so small out of an XL leaves a lot of unused pieces. Maybe something can be created out of those?

Ahem, I see nothing possible clearly, as the best parts are removed:

It does need a nose - or at least a cockpit (if it has a pilot).

XF-16AR makes me think of the Boeing X-32 Joint Strike Fighter candidate.

Thanks, not pretty but new...  

Sorry the retractable ski undercarriage isn't the intake you're think of. The primary intakes  are actually  behind the ride control vanes which are the large triangle  & the intake ducts which prevent dust sand grass ice snow lava dirt etc via opening & closing to prevent said debris into the intake similar to the MiG-29 is the large square behind that triangle I just described to you & the other square containing  the 2 smaller triangles those are the primary intakes. If you can see the link I sent to you which is here
 ( https://www.deviantart.com/armoredryukenshi1984/art/F-53-Swordsdragon-view-N-A-954541956 ) you can see the diagram of the original F-53 & on the diagram you can see that the diagrams on both aircraft are the same ( except for the retractable ski undercarriage of the naval version which you took a photo of ). Before any one else asks yes the F-53 Swordsdragon (land & naval) has 2 vertical tails rather a single vertical tail which is designed to operate at higher angles of attack than a single vertical tail like the F-16.

Like the F-16XL was an extended 16A, the F-16TDF was an extended 16XL:
