F-16 Dérivatives

[Captain Canada]

The VLR would make a great business jet Tophe !

I like the Fighting Serious. It looks like they are Finding Seriousness and holding hands. Or wings.

[Tophe]

Thanks Captain!
I have immediately added it to my site http://www.kristofmeunier.fr/f16ofil.htm 

[Tophe]

And my searches for Leduc prototypes brought back in my memory the Leduc 030 project, and of course its F-16 derivative:

In the same searches I have discovered the Leduc 050:

[Tophe]

And, rather similar, a derivative of the SNCASO Trident:

the Trident version would be do-able in plastic

Thanks to be interested as a modeller (even if you never build it actually in the forthcoming years)

And here is a different 2-seat Falcon, with 2 separate cockpits:

A new batch of "F-16s" today:

Inspired by the weird 1/72 model of Focke-Wulf 860 at http://www.unicraft.biz/germ/fw860/fw860.htm
I imagine the German F-16:

Next ones today, F-16 like A-10 or like QT-2:

here are F-16s with turboramjet:

[Tophe]

With four turboramjets, the F-16 became hypersonic:

Do yu know why the Rockwell XFV-12 program was cancelled?
Because it was replaced by the XFV-16 (ordered and built in 1,016 copies but this is still top secret):

[Tophe]

I tell you another secret: the F-16 was a project of the US Navy at first, as derivative of the XFY Pogo, that went step by step to the long landplane YF-16 with tailplanes. I show below the (not famous) missing links:

[PR19_Kit]

That's buildable too.
