    It looks like it was hand crafted with hammers and angle-grinders!
    I've seen nicer work in 1st year metalwork class.

    I can't imagine too many airlines will be "Russian" out to buy them.

    Agreed chughes, reminds me on my metalwork JC project. In the end none of the screws fitted, so i brought him to my granddad and he fiddled with it and got it working, this is the same except they didnt bring it to anyone to fix their mess!

    I'd still prefer my chances in a plane built in 2.5 mins:

    The engineering in the second photo down on the left is fantastic.

    Shame the plane is in the photo too.

    She's probably on the phone to someone saying that a bit of the plane broke off when she touched it, the piece is in her hand, and should she tell the Sukhoi people about it.

    Beautiful paintjob!
    O'Leary took his business model from SW, pity he doesn't take some tips on some random colour schemes. I'm amazed he hasn't plugged into this revenue stream. Every other budget airline does promo colours.

    Ryanair use to have a Jaguar and a mobile phone paint job I remember?

    I think the Ryanair Boeings look sharp anyway.

    T'would be great to see the B738's in fresh paint though.

    Anyone else think the Sukhoi looks like an Embraer ?
