Driver66 Posted February 2, 2013 Share Posted February 2, 2013 The worst what if ever, this model maker really should be encourage to take up golf instead, didn't even bother to find a pilot in the same scale..........ha ha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jas Posted February 2, 2013 Share Posted February 2, 2013 It's a model, mock up of perhaps an idea to intimidate the Western world. Trouble is, the area rule doesn't seem right to me. Plus, the undercarriage looks like a simple form of dolly, the likes you have on a R/C aircraft. Still, goes to show what they are thinking of anyway.

Michaelvk Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 Well, good for them.. No doubt about it being a mock-up, may not even be a full scale one (my Persian is a little rusty..).. At least we know the Chinese shared the stolen data tapes.. eh.. F35 plans.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andrew Jones Posted February 3, 2013 Author Share Posted February 3, 2013 Reminds me of the late , great ,Raymond Baxter who once described an exhibit on a TV programme from the Farnborough Air Show as , " A cock-up of a mockpit ". 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blacktjet Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 Looks like a cross between an X-36 and an italeri F-19! That video sounds like a model jet engine to me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tinners Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 Either that guy is 8 feet tall, or that is the smallest ejector seat in the world. The aircraft itself looks like a toy: Fiberglass skin with very little inside. Check out the official image on page one and it clear to see that it is lacking a few things: like avionics.

He does look a bit large for the cockpit, doesn't he? Cheers, Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Laidlaw Posted February 4, 2013 Share Posted February 4, 2013 One wonders whether the rudder pedals are actually for pedalling the aircraft down the taxiway? Seriously (no, really), this looks ripped-off from Firefox. I can only assume the video is purely for local consumption, in the hope it'll make people feel protected. Oh, dear...

RANDYLIZARD1978 Posted February 4, 2013 Share Posted February 4, 2013 Definitely a mock up...... http://www.flightglobal.com/blogs/the-dewline/2013/02/irans-new-qaher-313-stealth-fi.html cockpit picture is a joke wonder where the prototype design team are now.....

Dermo245 Posted February 4, 2013 Share Posted February 4, 2013 Err...has What If III started already? Does Mish know?! When I read this was launched to commemorate the 1979 revolution, I figured that's the year they got the 'in flight' video from. I was expecting the A-Team van to race by, with oil drums exploding all around them... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duncan B Posted February 4, 2013 Share Posted February 4, 2013 (edited) They would have done better by sticking a plywood skin over an old F5 and taxiing it around. Duncan B Just a thought though, maybe that is the real size and they have a regiment of 10 year old pilots hidden away! Cancel that, I've just seen the cockpit photos and I have to say some of my 1/72 kits have more detail than that.

Arkady72 Posted February 4, 2013 Share Posted February 4, 2013 Bigger picture here, straight from the Iranian MOD website Click the image above for bigger version - I put it on photobucket because the servers in Tehran must be running over a piece of wet string (original image here http://mod.ir/sites/default/files/news/f313.16.jpg) Chris Direct wire control by Ayatollah? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob P Posted February 4, 2013 Share Posted February 4, 2013 If you could even get your legs under the instrument panel, would you risk ejecting? Oh, wait, they are recruiting aircrew from the original airfix hawk....! () Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bentwaters81tfw Posted February 4, 2013 Share Posted February 4, 2013 (edited) Can we ask Sctratcher to make one for us? I reckon his 1/24 Bucc is bigger than this! I swear the canards are modelled on the wings from a Voodoo. Edited February 4, 2013 by bentwaters81tfw 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Posted February 4, 2013 Share Posted February 4, 2013 :rofl On the plus side, if anyone did want to superdetail that cockpit, all they'd need is two strands of wire, one blue, one brown... oh, hang on!! Maybe it's electrically powered, and at the other end of those cables there's a plug. After a (very short) sortie, just reverse into the hangar and plug it in! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alex Posted February 4, 2013 Share Posted February 4, 2013 The whole instrument panel relies on bluetooth and wlan-technology, which is much more sophisticated than the western, imperialistic hard-wired instuments they use since WW2! The two cables are just the power supply! And, if you look closely, the middle MFD looks like a Samsung Galaxy. Which means, Iran can also produce world-class smartphones! (but the device below looks more like the cassette player I had in my old Toyota... maybe, the newest "greatest hits in farsi" is not available on CD yet? Well, that is disappointig!)

Oh, wait, they are recruiting aircrew from the original airfix hawk....! ( ) Look at the sidewall, the Hasegawa 1/72 Bf109 has more detail than that. I was once in a canoe with thicker sidewalls, they're having a laugh. Little wonder the big boss man said it was a "symbol of Peace" in his statement to the Press, I'm not sure I'd go along with his idea of it being a deterrent though as Boy Scouts with air rifles could put holes in that.
