F-16 Dérivatives

[Tophe]

zenrat's topic about the HP Victor/Victomix https://www.whatifmodellers.com/index.php?topic=48066.120 reminded me the weird fin bottom of the Victor. I had to try that on a F-16! And I tried also the bulged nose below of this Victor source (and the T-tail). The result is not beautiful but weird:

I'm using the Airfix 1/72 F-117 as a donor kit for the Hawkalcon design.

Lots of work to adapt... Congratulations if you ever succeed.

kitnut617's topic about huge radar noses at https://www.whatifmodellers.com/index.php?topic=48246.0 made me look on Google and I found the weird Britten-Norman BN-2T Astor. I wanted a F-16 derivative of course!

If you added some skis would that be a F-16F Sea Falcon Dart?

As F-16 seaplane, there was also a flying boat with rocket engine:

very nice flying boalcon

You could keep the jet engine by placing the air intake on top of the fuselage behind the canopy like the F-107.

Thanks!

This is a good idea, while I already made the drawings of F-16 with F-107 air intake, or F2Y air intake, the third possibility seems a DC-10 air intake. Here it is:

This looks doable,  the engine air intake(s) would be upto the Whiffer.

I came across this French Canadian guy's Flickr page quite by accident.
His profile page is here :- https://www.flickr.com/people/franclab/ WELL worth looking at. 

From the same site, I have found an interesting sci-fi F-16, thanks!:

I have dreamed that (apart from propaganda) the F-16 has been the very first aircraft to break the sound barrier, in very aerodynamic versions:

I don't think anything like this has been posted.
The notion was that Israel couldn't get F-15s and so made a two engine XL version.

[Tophe]

Wonderful

I have just a little transformed it, discarding the tailplanes on the front view:

[tinlail]

Neaten it up nicely.

Would love to build it, scared to death of the all the curves that would have to be done by hand.

There have been F16XL kits around. Making an F-16XXL, you'd need to figure out how to join two fuselages with one cockpit section. Perhaps parts from some twin engine fighter?
