Lockheed CL-915-2 ( Could have become the F-16)

Hi all,
Here is my version of the CL-915-2. A project that Lockheed initiated that could have become the Light Weight Fighter. Or as we all call it, the F-16.
Lockheed at the time was very much busy with the SR-71, as you can see, the resemblance is uncanny. This is basically the Son of the SR-71. A mini version that has become a fighter jet and a bit slower. ( mach 2 versus mach 3.3)
Other details are very scarce, I made the plane 17.7 meters long, which is a pretty good fit, but the exact length and other data is unknown.
The engines are modeled are those of the SR-71, but most likely it would be lighter and more common engines.
I have added extra details like antennas and other sensors, that were not on the drawings, but then again, there wasn't much on the drawing to begin with...
I hope you like it.
