And if the F-16 were designed in the 1960s (without LERX) it would have a rather different look: <_<

I have been inspired by Carlos Alonso's art at https://www.carlosalonsoaviationart.com/cartoon
for a Eurofighter and I imagine such a F-16: <_<

I like those proportions!
His Hawker Tempest looks excellent to me. I recall somebody making a very similar 'toon Tempest as a radio controlled model.

Thanks!
As far as I am concerned, my favorites are the Mustang 51D & C. I asked him as comment if he would make a 51A, 51J, 82 and he answered gently that he is over busy and does not work anymore for fun, just on payed order (too expensive for me, sorry). OK, he is a professional "artist", which is different from our whif spirit for fun (after work). :unsure:
Google then Wikipedia told me he is aged 93, which deserves rest, I understand. <_<

For RC Tempest toon, I found one at http://www.inter-ex.com/bilder/interex29/tempest_toon.jpg

I'm sure I've seen that toon Tempest before on some R/C site. People thought the tongue was a nice touch  ;D

This guy sells some cartoon kits but not a Tempest: https://parkflyerplastics.com/cart/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=24_62
His Bf 109 toon looks pretty muscular.

Thanks! I like his 51B & D too! :thumbsup:

Before designing the F-16B, the F-16A tried to become a two-seater: <_<

a F-16 with the canopy in fin is not easy in plastic if clear canopy, but maybe with black canopy (the way I do)...: <_<

A F-16 zwilling does not require a simple layout...: <_<

Today not drawings of mine, but I added 23 pictures of F-16 toys & else on my web site http://www.kristofmeunier.fr/f16ofil.htm :

Those 23 are 2 RC, 7 three-D, 3 Lego, 1 wood, 7 metal, 2 tissue, 1 for keys.

I have already built one twin-boom F-16 and I consider building another one, someday: <_<

Moving the canopy forward changes the F-16 silhouette (and, on top view, the pilots' legs are not an issue): <_<

And the cockpit of a F-16D in front of the A's one (and below): <_<
