I think this has a lot to do with modeling but it is a cool link... ;D

At least they didn't have to do any PSR on it first!  ;D :lol:
Kit's Rule 1 ) Any aircraft can be improved by fitting longer wings, and/or a longer fuselage
Kit's Rule 2) The backstory can always be changed to suit the model

...and I'm not a closeted 'Take That' fan, I'm a REAL fan! :)

This has me wondering.
When they (RAF, USAF, RAAF etc) "paint" a standard finish modern military aircraft do they still paint the makings or do they use laser cut vinyl "stickers" like they do now on race cars?

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

That's an interesting question, but i don't think stickers would last longer than paint... But i don't know all that much anyway... ;D

Stickers would be quicker and easier to apply than painting but would they stand up to supersonic airflow?

I believe they would come off... If paint chips off, stickers would probably peel off rather quickly, i guess...
