Say what now? There are quite a number of F-16XL kits.
1/32: ACE Hobby Kit
1/32: Kangnam
1/32: Revell
1/48: Kinetic
1/48: Skunkmodels
1/72: Monogram
1/144: Arii
1/144: Airfix
Huh, will have to go looking more often... I remember building the old Monogram 1/72 as a kid in the 80s.

All of these pop up on ebay from time to time, prices ranging from "reasonable" to "ha ha no."

There is also a die-cast 1/144 F-16XL on ebay & Amazon, available for the low low price of "you've got to be kidding me."

If it was 1/72 or larger I might actually consider putting down that money, because it looks like a very good and detailed piece. But 1/144? Yeah nah.
 
Technical specifications and some more photos of the F-16AT/Falcon 21 wind tunnel scale model from the NASA technical paper.

Interesting to see the two faceted IRST options.
And if I understand correctly, the model was tested in the wind tunnel without the vertical tail. I wonder if it was for the sole purpose of calibration, or if a tail less Falcon 21 was envisioned. o_O
 
Flateric, heb je gewichtscijfers voor dit ontwerp? Dit ding is zo groot als een Rafale of Hornet, maar heeft de vleugeloppervlakte van een F-15.

Ik zou ook moeten nadenken over de keuze van de motor. Afgaande op de datum van het project en de tekeningen, zou ik gokken dat de PW-1120 of de F-404 de basismotoren waren.
F-110
