F-16 Dérivatives

[Tophe]

Maybe using F-16XL 1/144 kits (Airfix or else)?

Thanks also for having made me dream again of "modified" 16XL:

More "seriously", the F-16XL shape made me dream of something else, and I illustrated it immediately for my F-16 crazy site http://www.kristofmeunier.fr/f16ofil.htm :

More normal/boring: a F-16XL with just 2 fins on wings:

And then a long XL with tailplanes addition (in a delta+tail layout like the MiG-21):

I have seen on the web a nice caricature of F-14, and I imagine such a F-16:

[PR19_Kit]

Looks like it's been crash tested.

Thanks for having found an explanation.

More seriously now: the Fighting Falcon F-16 could not be named Falcon because the Dassault company owned a trademark for its Falcon 20 & 10 & 50 bizjets. But why not a Falcon 16 bizjet missing link?:

Of course there was a twin-boom F-16 (with a little turbojet):

And a twin fuselage F-16 with a little assymmetry (having a single nose):

It looks like the Chinese  fighter, single jet engine  with
canards although the 1/72 Trumpeter 01611 doesn't give you any information about the fighter

Thanks,  with a pair of conformal fuel tanks and a set of alternative decals,  this could be whiffed into many versions.

There was a misunderstanding: the F-16TF was not canard but asymmetric. Another angle shows it better:

Don't slam you head on the wall, dear, this is just a little misunderstanding, not a serious problem... I may even try to illustrate your wrong reading, making it creative, thanks!
