I am no fighter expert or engineer, only worked on helicopters, but in the close up of the canopy telescopic ram I can not see how it would be able to hold that canopy down given the angle and place of fitting and it is a very 'lumpy' canopy to me..............something, or many things are not right to me..... :-\ :-\

Thats what I reckoned, Mike......did you watch the 'supposed' flying video....

Also, looks a bit small for the pilot.......just seems like a 'knock-up' to me :y

I did, but so fast and poor quality you could not identify the aircraft, unlike the OP... :)
The pilot seat was quite ridiculous, pilot sitting far to high imo, and then the instruments, little more than found in a 1960's GT........ :D :D Can't be real imo........ :y
