General Dynamics F-16 Fighting Falcon

8,951 Elicushman  6.8 years ago

This is my F-16. I decided I wanted to do something I use to do frequently where I would spend a while picking a plane, and spend the morning just making a plane, and listening to a podcast or music. This little hobby brought planes like the PBY Catalina, or the F-4 Phantom on my page. This is a Thunderbirds F-16. I know the model isnt perfect, but the anatomy of a modern jet is much different from that of a ww2 or 60's plane, so sorry about that. Give me feedback, and if you've ever see them in an airshow, i'd love to hear your story!

    A decent Falcon. The size is about right, but the shape is off.
    An F-16's wings have a very slight anhedral, and the stabilators (emphasis on stabilator) have a more pronounced anhedral. The inlet is also supposed to be more pronounced, and the nose has more of a dip. You also forgot the ventral fins located near the arrestor hook. The tailroot should be thicker and more pronounced as well.
    But ignore my nitpicking. Your plane is great regardless!
