Denny Yen 0 Report post Posted September 10, 2006 Awesome! Looks like a cobra who just swallowed a whole cow! Errr...its not a cobra, it should be a python. Python jawbones can be "dislocated" from its sockets to allow it to swallow prey, and once everything is in, it gets back to its normal position. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I mean what's the point of wasting cost on the paint, plus it's much lighter when its naked Aircraft can't fly without painting. It will blow up when flying at high altitude... In that pics, the green one is primer painting, and the 'metal' part is chrome painting... BTW, it looks like a tortoise to me, the head coming out from the shell..
