Sounds like an RC model jet in this flying footage, backed up by what seems to a 1:1.5 mock up (as mentioned above) for the close ups!

I spotted this on the book of faces, taken from Jeff Goldblum's page about the new Indipendance Day film (God help us!). Looks like Holywood has taken the Iranian folley and made it betterer!!

I'd rather go to war in a prop from a Jeff Goldblum movie than that Iranian mock-up, the Hollywood one will at least fit me inside and probably uses thicker fibre glass... plus it has alien derived super weapons :-)
