    That's really impressive actually. How much time does it take to paint

    Apparently it's in the ballpark of 6 weeks and $100,000. I hope someday I'm in a position to be concerned about the cost and time to have my plane painted.

    What’s that fighter at the bottom right? The paint job may not be as impressive as the others, but I like the overall design.

    I think its a gripen. I don't know much of anything about jets but the only modern fighter I know with those foward wing things is the gripen.

    Those forward wing things are called canards. 3 modern fighters have them.

    • Saab Gripen: grey, delta wings, single engine, rectangular side intakes.
    • Dassault Rafale: grey, delta wings, twin engine, round side intakes and fixed fuel probe. Only fighter known to defeat the F-22 in simulated combat.
    • Eurofighter Typhoon: grey, delta wings, twin engine, rectangular lower intakes.
