Love the Mustangs Tophe  :thumbsup:
Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.

Thanks.

Today on deviantart website, armoredRyukenshi1984/thunderEagle1997 seems to have reposted the profile of a whif F-16U.
This one seems a triple-fin F-16 but as I found the source, the front view shows it is a V-double-fin F-16 without central fin anymore (so I don't understand the profile).
Anyway, I have re-invented a triple-fin Falcon, with reduced size fins, and at 90°/60°/120° angles: <_<

Uh, the fins are more oblique than vertical it seems.
And the profile is uneasy to understand, explaining my triplex-fin possible interpretation: :unsure:

Today I have found on the web a special F-16 model, with nose big canard foreplanes: <_<

Uh? Still the same without explanation? :blink:
Here is one different: F-16XL with Draken wing: <_<

In side view, you'd have to remove the F-16 style jet intake - unless there's two engines, one on top of the other like on EE Lightning.

What you say is a possibility but not the only one, as the lateral extensions from the fuselage are not obligatorily air intakes, they may be very thin part of the wing
like on the SAAB LX http://www.unicraft.biz/on/saab-lx/saab-lx.htm

Oh.... I'd forgotten about the LX concept. That is a possibility.

Thanks perttime to understand my point of view: <_<

While I do approve also your invention, and I illustrate it with a front view: ;D

In 2020 I already drew a short F-16 without tailplanes but I prefer the new one, even shorter: <_<

One more (or three more into one) F-16 as scale-o-rama joke: <_<

The F-16's canopy could be more symmetric (rear/front) providing a new silhouette: <_<
