Default Kruger Industries KR174 DRAKE multi-role fighter

Picked this up from a Facebook post about SAB Italy over the weekend. Was implied that the famous SAB Heli folks are getting into RC jets. Thought someone else would have posted. I checked recent threads and since not thought I would oblige. Something different for a change!

Length: 215 cm
Wingspan: 175 cm
Weight: 10 - 12 kg
Turbine: 100N to 210N
Vector: Optional

Am I the only one that thinks the colors and markings on these are completely UGLY!! I would have to do a repaint right away just so I could stand to look at it.

It's obviously not a foamie just based on the turbine range. Weston Park International Model Show in 2 weeks and SAB Heli always attend in force so I suspect they would bring one with them, maybe even fly it. Fingers crossed.

I like the looks of the Neon Digital camo one,, but the other one, Im with you on that, shes Butt ugly with those stripes to me
, but to each his own if everyone had the same taste, we would all be flying the same model in the same color,,,

personally when I look at the jet,, there is 1 scheme that comes to mind, and this plane would look Wicked in this scheme,,,,,,

There is difference in air inlet on the back between the models... I like the digitally camouflaged one.
