Basic kit : Academy 1/72 F-16, wing from Academy 1/48 Mirage, tail from hasegawa 1/72 F/A-18C.
Background story: After the UCAV QF-1 Varuna drone was retired early by the RAF, Vimana Industries immediately bought back the QF-1 and later developed it into the QF/A-2 Varuna II, where UCAV this time was designed for ground and air attack tasks (  multirole) and this drone uses the delta wing, because it prioritizes speed.  With more payload than before. It is hoped that the UCAV aircraft will become battle buddies with main aircraft such as the F-1 "Arjuna" and F/A-2 "Rahwana" and the aircraft being developed by the F-3 "Garuda" Besides being able to be controlled from the ground, this aircraft is also designed using AI so that the aircraft  can fly independently or by direct command of the main aircraft.

LOVE this.  Nice job!  Shape reminds me a bit of a twin-tailed F-16 with a Rafale wing I did many years ago. 
So I got that going for me...which is nice....

An EXCELLENT bit of kitbashing there.  :thumbsup:
Kit's Rule 1 ) Any aircraft can be improved by fitting longer wings, and/or a longer fuselage
Kit's Rule 2) The backstory can always be changed to suit the model

...and I'm not a closeted 'Take That' fan, I'm a REAL fan! :)

Regards
Kit

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

Great shape, the parts look great together.  :thumbsup:
I don't think it's nice, you laughin'. You see, my mule don't like people laughin'. He gets the crazy idea you're laughin' at him. Now if you apologize, like I know you're going to, I might convince him that you really didn't mean it.
