Good lookin' out! I considered using the search function then couldn't come up with what to search.  ;D   "Model video I saw somewhat recently" wouldn't have done me any good..  :o ;D

Great photo.  I find it interesting that the "experts" say that darkening the panel lines and adding streaks of dirt/lubricants/hydraulic fluid is unrealistic and couldn't be seen an a real a/c further than a few feet away. But here your go.

That was uploaded from 'digitalcombatsimulator.com', so chances are it's CGI.

It's CGI, and there are a lot of alternative fictional skins available. I just found this Austrain Mirage 2000 pretty conclusive. Maybe an idea for a Heller kit I have in the stash with no inspirational idea - for years...

Except Austria doesn't fly Mirage 2000s, so that pic is as much a 'model' as a plastic one, and the panel lines are manufactured by the artist.
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! :)

You're missing the point Kit, you and I have been classed as "experts".

Woohoo!

- 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.

Yeah, right.............  ;D

The only thing I'm an 'expert' in is hydraulic railway tilting systems.

Another accidental find. I remember a kit in Aeroflot colors, but this CG'd air force machine is also pretty neat:

You'd have your dog in the passenger seat manning the Vickers, just to really worry people, wouldn't you?  :wacko:

I like the outboard motor, It's a Seagull, I suppose?
Does it means he "vehicle" is presumed to be amphibian?
