Scooby Posted February 2, 2013 Share Posted February 2, 2013 This looks pretty ridiculous even for Iranian standards. It looks like a scaled-down test project or demonstrator of some sort.. Can we get decals? :) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
vlamgat9 Posted February 2, 2013 Share Posted February 2, 2013 So who is going to be first to kit it?? I can see endless debates among the rivet counters as to whether Trumpeter have got the wing thickness right. Probably have to wait for Eduard etch to do that cockpit justice... Seriously, that is the funniest thing i have seen in a long time. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Flyboyf18 Posted February 2, 2013 Share Posted February 2, 2013 WOW!! I want one, in 72nd, well that one is close!??? Any one have the e-mail address for the IRIMF so I can order one ASAP!?? That is just in case the IRIMoEM is watching this!! Who made the seat Mini Baker?? Or as someone has suggested is that (pilot?) person just too big to fly modern fighters? That flite suit he is wearing seems a tad snug around the middle?? Just don't know what else to say.............. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Wizard_rkt Posted February 2, 2013 Share Posted February 2, 2013 (edited) My daughter and I could make something better looking (out of cereal boxes)than this of the same exact shape and it would still fly better than this would ever hope to. This is the same kind of ultra-phony propaganda junk that goes along with saying that U.S. bombed a baby-milk factory in Iraq so now the babies cannot have their milk........think of something better Iran (E-ron). Even as a mockup this thing looks like a buch of Jr High model Rocketry students designed and built it. The Iran President looks so convincingly proud, doesn't he? He is really saying "This piece of junk should full the infidels." Only problem is is that not every American is dumb enough to beleive it. Oh well.....the Chinese shouldn't be the only ones doing this kind of crap.....but at least the Chinese attempts can fly......doesn't matter if they will fall apart in anything but straight and level flight.

FAR148 Posted February 2, 2013 Share Posted February 2, 2013 What a hunk of junk. She'll make point five past lightspeed! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
KursadA Posted February 2, 2013 Share Posted February 2, 2013 The ejection seat might be pilfered from a type they have inthe inventory, like a PC-7. The Iranians have a history of trotting out homemade-quality, crude one -off aircraft with parts from other airplanes every couple of years, this is just the latest one.

Wizard_rkt Posted February 2, 2013 Share Posted February 2, 2013 Either the man sitting in the cockpit is a giant, or that seat is about 2 sizes too small! :rofl:/>/> I wonder how his knees taste, because from that picture he sure is eating them. Here it is guys.... The reason the seat is too small for the pilot is that a bunch of 3rd graders designed and built it........that seat is for a kid! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
zerosystem Posted February 2, 2013 Share Posted February 2, 2013 anyone remember the pictures of the crashed drone that Iran published? I think we finally know what was underneath that curtain holding the drone up off the ground... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MIG Mikkel Posted February 2, 2013 Share Posted February 2, 2013 Israeli intelligence have managed to get hold of pictures of the engine: Hehe good one!!! I like it!! looks cool and all, really like the miniature figures :D nice try Iran...nice try.... E for effort :P Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Litvyak Posted February 2, 2013 Share Posted February 2, 2013 I bet in the picture of Ahmadinejad covering his mouth with the book he's doing that so the cameras wouldn't see him muttering "what the f is this?" Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TaiidanTomcat Posted February 2, 2013 Share Posted February 2, 2013 It was really foolish of them to put a pilot in that cockpit, If you look at the scale of that seat it seems clear that this was never supposed to actually fit a full sized human. They outed themselves there. Without that guy in the cockpit we have to at least "guess" its size. This makes it pretty clear its all garbage. Hopefully the Iranian 231st Guards Photoshop Brigade will see the error and shrink the pilot to fit. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ChernayaAkula Posted February 2, 2013 Share Posted February 2, 2013 and transparency doesn't look great at all on the bubble canopy... good luck seeing something through! A quick dip in Future and they're all set. Add some Tamiya Smoke to the Future and the radar-evading aspect is covered as well. <...> Airpower Australia is standing by with their analysis. SPOILER ALERT: "Vastly superior to the F-35." That's some funny sh!t! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
HOLMES Posted February 2, 2013 Share Posted February 2, 2013 I bet in the picture of Ahmadinejad covering his mouth with the book he's doing that so the cameras wouldn't see him muttering "what the f is this?" It is the Koran.. ... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
CorsairMan Posted February 2, 2013 Share Posted February 2, 2013 Isn't the contractor supposed to at least try to make the wood mockup 'look' like the real deal? This thing is the size of a WW2 fighter! Would it have 20minutes flight time with the 100pounds of fuel aboard? So so silly. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Aigore Posted February 2, 2013 Share Posted February 2, 2013 Well they might have the stealth concept right..... wasn´t the mossie made out of plywood and darn hard to spot on radar? :D Oh well, gotta give them points for effort at least :D Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Lancer512 Posted February 2, 2013 Share Posted February 2, 2013 (edited) Has anybody noticed the warning stenciling on the nose? It is written in english, and that language on an iranian jet doesn't make any sense to me. I also think that the pilot's helmet will touch the canopy once it is closed.

phantom Posted February 2, 2013 Share Posted February 2, 2013 Perhaps the canopy gets super glued to the plane. Saves weight for the one way suicide mission without the locks and seals required for flight. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Lancer512 Posted February 2, 2013 Share Posted February 2, 2013 Maybe that whole thing is just a hoax to keep the eyes of the media away from other projects? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mercury Posted February 2, 2013 Share Posted February 2, 2013 Well, I guess they'll just have to sand a bit off the pilot figure's butt to get him lower in the seat so that canopy will close. Now about getting enough thrust out of an engine(that will fit, and require little air) to create lift on that wing... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Pete Posted February 2, 2013 Share Posted February 2, 2013 Has anybody noticed the warning stenciling on the nose? It is written in english, and that language on an iranian jet doesn't make any sense to me. All the US supplied planes in the IRIAF still carry stencils in the english language. So I'm not too surprised about that. But the rest... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Shawn C. Posted February 2, 2013 Share Posted February 2, 2013 I think I saw an 8-track on the instrument panel. I don't The Onion could have produced a more laughable set of pictures! I honestly feel sorry for the Iranian people. This has to be pretty embarrassing! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Crazy Snap Captain Posted February 2, 2013 Share Posted February 2, 2013 I have no idea about how scale model RC jets work, or physics and aerodynamics for that matter, so this may be a DUMB*** question, but if an RC model can fly, can a scaled up version fly?
