Mmm, how many consipracy theories can you get into one PPrune thread??
Regarding the model kits, Testors were so taken by the sucess of their 'F-19' kit that they produced a rival 'Mig-37 Ferret' - the blurb on the box stated along the lines that as the Soviets were less technologically advanced than the US, their Stealth fighter used older facetting technology to achived low radar visibility.
I'll bet there were a few wry smiles at Lockheed when that came out - and some perturbed security dudes!
