Have any pics? I saw over on another forum a link to a guy making his own 1:6 model Russian fighter (Su-33 or Su-27, maybe? I can't remember). What I want to know is, how the hell do you fly those things? Military level wireless control has to cost a fortune.

amazing!!! nobody dares insult this one, its simply amazing

 

[CraigRT]

totally insane!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Maverick]

:Q that musta taken a lotta bondo!

 

[thawolfman]

Are you seeeeeeeeerious?! :Q

 

[everman]

Nice job. Now maybe they'll get a job at a car company as designers or something, this certainly makes for a nice resume I'd assume that's one of the main reasons for doing it.

edit: of course this car is technologically inferior to what Mercedes can do.

At least appreciate the skill that it took to put that thing together.

Very skillful, but still quite lame.

I'd like to see you do that! This is not another lexus body kit. The car is in not in production, so this persion had to rely on photos and other little resources to build the car.

this guy must be working for Mercedes

 

[Swanny]

That guy has a lot of free time!!

Hmmm, are they going to crash test it?

I hope it passes the test.

BEER

[zerocool1]

[EvilYoda]

wow. WOW. He is my idol.

I'd pull it into an uber-fashionable town, find some new-money guy (or thug in the ghettos in the states) and sell it (pretend you stole it or something) for $150K or something.

 

[Xionide]

Thats just fvcking nuts.

The guy is Polish!
I am not kidding, look at the plates....
I am not sure if I want to be proud or embarrased

 

[adlep]

For those who can read Polish:

Ok...
The entire car is hand made from '88 500 SEC.
The entire car is build from steel (heavy :Q) but some parts of the body are aluminum...
Edit: Will try to translate as I will read on...

Probably for the same reason that a dog licks itself, because he can.

That is simply awesome!

Going to all that trouble I would design my own car, not copy a benz and end up with that ugly thing
