F-16 Dérivatives

This is the fastest F-16 ever (Mach 3+):

I found on the web like a F-16 cousin, not exactly F-16 but close:

Some minor F-16s were designed inspired by the prototype Avro 707 and the drone GAF Jindivik:

For training two-seaters, with safety as major issue, an old-style canopy would have been a good idea, maybe:

The little F-16A was good enough to face MiG-21 but against MiG-25 a much bigger F-16 was needed, Mach3+:

That three engine F-16 looks like a challenge to build in 3 D. I do have the kits laying around.........

[Tophe]

If you ever do it, you will deserve all the merit! I was just joking easily but actually making it would be a marvellous success.

I think two fins mounted on the outside engines and tilted inward would be cool.

[Tophe]

This would be your very personal touch, as a whif invented from a whif!

I thought this was just a peaceful symbol of chivalry but maybe this is a weapon of USAF ninjas:

And I have been inspired by a pusher (of 1946?) on DeviantArt:

Very little Falcons (with like 1/72 fins on 1/48 basis)t:

The nice Saro P187 model of MartinH at https://www.whatifmodellers.com/index.php?topic=25453.825
inspired me for a F-16 derivative:

I have seen the insteresting air-cushion DHC-5/XC-8A Buffalo at https://www.hannants.co.uk/product/AMU14419?result-token=C7WE1
and sandiego89 built one here at https://www.whatifmodellers.com/index.php?topic=28617.msg430616#msg430616
So I imagine a similar F-16:

Oh yes!  I can just see it now - a 1/48 (would 1/32 be too big?) F-16 as the basis of a multi-engined 1/72 monster.
