I have always loved eggplanes, and I love the F-16 shape, of course one day I would build a F-16 egg-model.
But my opinion was that Hasegawa did not do a marvelous creation with the egg-F-16, and I preferred the Freedom F-16 cartoon model.
I bought one kit for 2 models : A + B, my plan is to make a zwilling ZAB, with many differences in engines (rocket without air intake) and tail (complex using the extra parts saved by the zwilling process...

Removing the weapons (that I don't like), the content is more easy to see: <_<

- Can't be bothered to do the proper research and get it right.

Another ill conceived, lazily thought out, crudely executed and badly painted piece of half arsed what-if modelling muppetry from zenrat industries.

Thanks!

Here are the two tail layouts I consider: <_<

Thank you!

I have started building the F-16B sub part, removing the turbojet under the fuselage: <_<

Tophe

I did the same with the Free-16A parts, now all is ready for final steps: <_<

As I plan no rear low tailplanes, I think the rear part will be cut into an even shorter little plane, moving fins forward: <_<

Now going back to plastic: <_<

The aspect before truncation: :-\


Truncating raw result (sorry for the blurred picture): :-\


Now clearly taking shape:  <_<

[the word "realistic" hurts my heart...]

Tophe

Gluing the A and B parts together makes the ZAB zwilling, a flying wing that could be final (ZAB-1): <_<


But I think I will use tomorrow the extra parts into a crazier sesquiplane (ZAB-2): <_<

Tophe

An intermediate step: <_<


Then the final model, ready for paint: <_<

Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.

Thank you!

Before I discard the kit box, I have scanned the profiles on it, cleaner than on the instruction sheet (with number for decals or colours): <_<

(and I am glad to thank the cartoonist, so good!)
