Going twin, twinjet and twinfin. Two F-414 should be sufficient and would provide better endurance

Know that's a lot of weight and room added to the design, just to make room for a toilet and microwave (aka Sukhoi Platypus)

Sweet! The world needs more Vipers in "retro" colours! :)

Interesting early F-16 concept with small canards:

Well, before one of my writing partners and I had a falling-out, since she wrote a character who's an F-16 pilot I had conceptualized an F-16XL/IDF Sufa/JASDF F-2 "mixmaster," and while I've abandoned any further thought on the idea for obvious reasons I just thought I'd throw it out if anybody else wanted to play with it.

What would look really slick on that would be a butterfly type tail arrangement like the YF-23 had:

That illustrator must've spent some long hours on this concept.

Cheers,

Hey Greg, you got a bigger version of that Model 1600 cutaway?

Thursday's confession: I find the F-16 all but impossible to Whiff outside a revised paint scheme. I have no idea why, but that's where it is.

Great idea! Here you go! :)

I was too lazy to do the YF-23-style exhaust, though.

That's plenty cool with or without YF-23 exhaust. I didn't actually envision it with any changes to the engine at all.

Another idea that hit me is to use an F-16 kit as the basis for an aircraft derived from the Rockwell HiMAT:
