Nicely executed! I thought that the USAF doesn't use conformal fuel tanks.

Thank you! I don't think that the USAF has any F-16s with CFTs in real life but this is a "What if?" so, why not? 😉

DSI combine with a LOAN. Pretty cool.

Glad you like it, thank you! 👍
I think it's a shame that the DSI and the LOAN weren't adopted for the latest Viper variants. My idea with this one was to have the Mitsubishi F-2's bigger wings on the normal Viper, similar to the proposed Agile Falcon, but i love the look of the DSI and, if it's a "what if?", why not throw in a new engine and nozzle?
Imagine that the nozzle was a hybrid of the LOAN and the F-16 VISTA's MATV nozzle and the engine was the P&W F135 or even the GE/RR F136... 😁

I like where you head is at. That's a good thought, a sort of silent Falcon version. The LOAN nozzle was PW and I think 100% of block 70s continue to use the GE engine.

There is another guy on here to put a PW F119 2D nozzle on an F-16 build. I like all these custom builds, I'm considering to build an RQ-180 from a X-47B UCAS kit when my modeling skills improve.
