Hand me a mop, so I can clean up my drool...

That's awesome.

That's a really nice model of a really ugly aircraft.
One of the few things that could have made the Su-22 look attractive.
I would love to have known what nickname the RN pilots would have given that thing.

Something implying fatness and ugliness, and a word or two you might not use in the company of the fairer sex.

I ran into a pilot from England once and described the Lightning as looking "Like a steam locomotive with wings on it."
He almost took a swing at me.
Although it's anything but, this version has so many sharp angles on it that it almost looks like a stealth design.
I always liked the bomb/rocket pod racks the Saudi's had mounted on the top of the wings in their version.
Putting ordinance on those must have been a real pain.
