- Can't be bothered to do the proper research and get it right.

Another ill conceived, lazily thought out, crudely executed and badly painted piece of half arsed what-if modelling muppetry from zenrat industries.

That looks convincing.  Would that have been a replacement for the Shackleton and Turbo-Dak?

Gives me inspiration for a Bush War-era Kentron UCAV based on the MB.326 / Impala, particularly after the Gecko SAM came into threatre.  Any 1980s Israeli or Taiwanese anti-radar missiles that could be hung on it?

Very good!!   I think it looks extremely cool, and quite convincing!

Suggests a whole genre of drones made of obsolescent trainers .... gonna do the Gnat next?    ;)
