A little modification now (from standard f-16), installing two-fins and two little jets on a long fat fuselage with a stool tailplane above it. Maybe rejected on the drawing stage but this is fun for me:  <_<

Of course, as the designer was my American cousin (or twin-brother) X.Toff, the prototype of the one above was twin-boom:  <_<

The explanation of the weird stool tailplane on the centerline comes from the very first prototype, having a small third jet on the back (whose flames should not burn the tail):  <_<

From another artistic inspiration, towards the F-16 family also: <_<

from art too, this turns rather stealthy it seems (but I don't know : I am not a radar myself): <_<

Continuation of the F-16 fantasy stealth family, including an intermediate asymmetric step (tried in flight but crashed, ahem):  :-\

After those harmonious shapes inspired by artists, here is a complete ugliness inspired by something called art anyway (as creative not as beautiful...):  :-\

Thanks a lot! wonderful creator, that I did not know! I have put many "in favorites" and added several enthusiastic comments; thanks again. The best is an inventive P-51 that I did not know, wow!

I have been actually inspired by this Tomzoo designer, not only for P-51 and twin-boomers but also for F-16 (thanks again perttime :thumbsup: ):

This concave nose is weird, opposite to a normal radar nose, convex! :unsure: ;D

I have been inspired also by the true project before the Rafale, somewhere on this site:  <_<
