From a humble cardboard and tape mock-up of a What If idea sitting on the couch one night...

Styrene in my blood and an impressive void in my cranium.

To a full-blown, two-seater Luftwaffe version complete with CFT's, scratchbuilt tail,  elevators, landing gear bays, trailing winglets, etc.!

Hope you like.

I'm just glad to be done...phew!    :mellow:

Another view.  I'll get better pics once I put my hangar back together (it's currently apart as I've written the "how-to" article on hangar-building and am attempting to render some instructional drawings/diagrams to go with the article).

Out of the box cockpit doesn't look too bad, eh?

*spontaneous applause*

bravo!

well done that mouse...i'm not even a lover of t-tails (sacriledge i know, sorry), but i think this looks GREAT!

CFT's look smashing - add a bit of girth to the old girl, and the bold cammo really gives it something extra...great stuff barry!!  :wub:  :wub:  :wub:  :wub:

F-16s bore me rigid but that is a sweet looking bird. :cheers:

*Loud applause*  If you get some shots on a properly realistic background, I'd love to take one into work to put up and see who notices the changes :)

Quotetake one into work to put up and see who notices the changes :)
I do see a change, mainly on the first view (from front-above-right) : this F-16T has more harmony than the previous F-16A to D. Well, maybe my favorite in the F-16 family remains the XL, but the T comes in second, then YF-16, than the others - less beautiful.
Thanks a lot for providing us with such a beauty, this is not "just one more F-16", for me. :wub:

Superb, absolutely superb - even if it is an F-16 (spits on the floor in disgust) :P
