Ahhhh ..well ya see Thomas mate know that I did not  ;D
But you could also say that your model was used for the concept.. ;)
If it aint broke ,,fix it until it is .
Over kill is often very understated .
I know the voices in my head ain't real but they do come up with some great ideas.
Theres few of lifes problems that can't be solved with the proper application of a high explosive projectile .

The 'squareness' of those intakes is a bit of a defining factor though, so long as you catch sight of them of course.
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! :)

Here's a pic of the desktop model, or better: two variants, because there variants with smooth and "dogtooth" LERXs. But overall the thing looked very F-16ish!

I would say extremely F-16ish ..shows the F-16 is a damn good plane if the russians tried to copy it..well basically tried to copy it ..very likely it would've have been tho .
