You're going to need alot more than a nose cone.

If you are talking about the red, white and blue prototype, it's a totally different airplane from a production model.

youll need a lot more than just the nose. The entire nose section from station 243 (Gun bay) forward is quite different from the standard F-16A airframe. There are a host of other details to consider, like cockpit, canopy, canopy frame, Exhaust donut, NLG steering actuator, NLG split door, vertical tail, and a lot of door/panel lines to fill and rescribe.

The Hasegawa F-16A would be your best starting point. Theres just not a lot of YF-16 information and detailed coverage out there.
