Given that the whole world has rumbled this crap, have the members of the design crew been beheaded yet?

Hopefully a higher resolution picture to laugh at analyse. It would appear that quite a lot of fibreglass went into building that, it also seems that there is no room for the pilot's legs!

It was decided that it would be unveiled in a local gymnasium as they were concerned about the plane getting prematurely airborne, as it was forecast to be a bit breezy that day.
I many be wrong, but it looks like Iran have an ebay account and have bought a job lot of double din stty Chinese sat nav systems.

And when they suggest a 'domestically built' aircraft, does that mean it was built in some bloke's house?

I think they saw James May's programme where he built a giant Spitfire Airfix kit, and thought it was real so copied the idea...

Still not sure why they are doing this. 30 seconds of US military time taken up?

No, Dougal, that miniature stealth fighter mockup is very close....




Seems to have been designed for stumpy hobbits.
Well lets hope if the pilot ever has to eject that the det cord on the canopy is effective....otherwise his head is going to be introduced to his chest cavity lol. I don't know why I brought this up, we all know this plane will get blown away in a light breeze biggrin

Not that it makes the thing any more credible, but why do you assume it needs MDC or similar to shatter the canopy? Why couldn't the canopy be jetissoned just like any other aircraft with a polycarbonate canopy of this type (F-16 for example)? The warning triangle says "ejection seat and canopy".

I might offer my services as chief photoshopper and model maker. I reckon I could earn a nice wage and turn out better quality work.
