That's actually pretty damn cool. The airbrushing is very solid, but I think they could really kick it up a notch by adding some weathering powder near the engine, and and perhaps using a wash to bring out the panel lines.

The brilliant thing about this is that they ( GW) should send it with a picture from one of their teasers showing a rhino/land raider advancing, and space marines shooting, and the North Koreans will probably believe it since it is the same quality as the stuff they see from their government. GW will control the country through fear, and THEN things start getting interesting.

I think this ranks up there on the threat scale with Iran's F-313. This one actually flew, though, so it might be ahead of the game, despite resembling something a Boy Scout troop would kludge together.

So the Tau were originally from NK. That'd silence a lot of theories about how they suddenly showed up.
Now we know, when the western decadence spread too far over the planet Glorious Leader willed the people of True Korea to the distant side of the galaxy. Realising the insect infestation he had also summoned to finally squash the western decadence Glorious Leader willed a storm of power around their planet to allow them to live in peace.

Exactly. It got airborne. So did that cow the French fired from a catapult at King Arthur. The cow probably stayed in the air longer than the NK drone, too.

I still wouldn't mock. How much have we gotten wrong that carried billion plus dollar price tags? It doesn't look like they're out a lot of bucks on the R&D end of things, and I can be pretty sure they're learning as they go.

Great! Than GW could have an army of Korean slave labourers make all miniatures, which would seriously cut operating costs for GW. Maybe we would finally see some price reductions? That, or GW uses the North Korean army to "deliver C&D letters" to all their rivals and competitors before enslaving the entire world, forcing everyone to buy GW miniatures for way too high prices. People who don't buy at least an entire SM chapter a year will be sent to camps for "re-education through labour".
