JASDF F-2D

[Firefox]

This one was on the shelve for a long while. Finally I've got the drive to get it done, right after the twin project. The donation kit was the Hasegawa 1/72 F-2B. and the canard are from the similar scale Rafale



One might wonder what happened to the air intake. It's my own silly mistake. I forgot to put some counter weight in the nose section and it ended up tail sitting because of the delta wings. I have to put some milliput in the intake to balance it up.

Yes, sir! Very cool! I've seen images of that design for quite some time on the web. Your rendition has come out beautiful!

Yes, I saw some images on the web as well. They inspired me to make a similar one out of them

I thought the F-2 WAS a licence built version of the F-16 anyway, isn't it?

It is sort of licensed built but with redesigned canopy and wings. It was based on the unused F-16 Agile Falcon concept.

Yep, and it wasn't just the wings, stabs and canopy, the fuselage is a bit longer and front section from the LERX to the nose is wider.



I remember reading somewhere in the F-16.net site, that the Agile Falcon would have the same F-16 fuselage but the wings and stabs were bigger like on the F-2A, to return the agility robbed from the original F-16 LWF design, which was lighter than the F-16A because it didn't have all the extra equipment demanded by the USAF.
I took that route when i built my Block 70 based on the Agile Falcon concept.
