Iron Eagle Posted September 12, 2006 Share Posted September 12, 2006 Normally I don't like F-2s as much as F-16s, and let alone all those bumps and warts, but for some reason this one is incredibly sexy. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cobrahistorian Posted September 12, 2006 Share Posted September 12, 2006 Holy crap! That thing is AWESOME! I want one. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Trigger Posted September 12, 2006 Share Posted September 12, 2006 (Working on backstory for development) Since this is a what if and your F-16G has a tail number FY of 2010, how about - it's a JSF alternative developed by Lockheed-Martin along with Mitsubishi after the F-35 was canceled? Very nice F-16G! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Aggressor Supporter Posted September 12, 2006 Share Posted September 12, 2006 That thing looks incredible! I like! <_< Quote Link to post Share on other sites

RT Van Zandt II Posted September 12, 2006 Author Share Posted September 12, 2006 Since this is a what if and your F-16G has a tail number FY of 2010, how about - it's a JSF alternative developed by Lockheed-Martin along with Mitsubishi after the F-35 was canceled?Very nice F-16G! Thats the general story line I'm working on. Ive used all current or in development technology so it would be an off the shelf quick development and fielding AC Not 100% sure that the F-119 would fit but some internal airframe changes should fix that, and yes they have a 43000 lb thrust variant in the works for the Raptor so I borrowed it.

Trigger Posted September 12, 2006 Share Posted September 12, 2006 Look into the F135 engine under development for the JSF as a possible alternative if the F119 won't fit. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Karl Sander Posted September 12, 2006 Share Posted September 12, 2006 Holy schneikies! That's a mean looking airplane, and a really well done build. Kudos on the creativity and the craftsmanship. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
GreyGhost Posted September 12, 2006 Share Posted September 12, 2006 Now that is what a F-16 would look like if the MARINES bought them !!! Another Beautiful Build Rich, you sure are spoiling us with these Beauties !!! Fabulous painting skills Sir !!! Gregg Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Mad Viper Posted September 12, 2006 Share Posted September 12, 2006 That's a nice what if build. Although as a personal favor i left off the canards. But the build looks awesome, nice weathering and awesome load out. Will take that plane in to combat any time. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Keith Diamond Posted September 12, 2006 Share Posted September 12, 2006 very nice Super Falcon you've got there. I've never been a fan of the beefier, lumpier Falcons that have been coming out, espeically with the spine, but I have always liked the concept of the Agile Falcon. You ought to post this at the What If forum. Someone a while back had an idea similar to yours. He used the front cockpit section of a Hasegawa D and grafted it on a F-2B fuselage. Forgot what the loadout and markings were though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
