The report said the toy model of the RQ-170 Sentinel stealth drone will be sent to the White House in response to a formal request from Washington last month asking Iran to return the aircraft that went down over Iran in December.

State radio said the model will be one eightieth the size of the original aircraft. The report says the models also will be sold on the Iranian marked for about 70,000 rials, or around $4.

1. The Chinese make really nice miniatures, as well.

2. As opposed to the full-scale model they've shown once and never again.

I retract everything I've ever said that might have implied they don't have a sense of humor.

3. I thought the air-conditioning vent cover on the engine air intake was a fun touch, myself. ;-)

5. Obviously, the "Stealth drone" wasn't as stealthy as advertised.
