The F-18 door clearly showed corrugated doors and none of the others seem to show any texture, they also all are very clear. The airliner shot is of a Southwest 737 (2 engined) with two engines "cloned" onto the wings. But it is on the internet, so it must be true...

Did you go to the actal business site, with pics from customers using these on their own garage doors?

Company site

And so what if the image used was modified in photoshop before being printed? That's how you get forced perspective and faked lighting, and the rest.

You mean they didn't put an actual fighter jet or airliner in a garage to get the photos to begin with?!? I feel cheated

These have always tweaked my curiosity, and I think they make one with the flip up wings......

Why have a picture? cross country trip? sure, \NY for dinner and a movie, that can be done......not to mention most of the country is a few hours away, period.

It's a German company and over there (and to a large extent over here in the UK as well) you don't have the sectioned doors common in the US. They're pretty much all flat. Not to mention that you get rows and rows of garages with the big apartment blocks so something like this livens up a drab, concrete place (because most of the garage blocks are prefab concrete) a treat.

Sub 500knot max speed, and a sub 800 mile range.... I'll take Southwest. Do they still provide peanuts?

How about this one: http://www.controller.com/listings/aircraft-for-sale/AERO-L-59-SUPER-ALBATROS/1992-AERO-L-59-SUPER-ALBATROS/1112195.htm

hey no lines, relatively cheap buy in, there are better out there, but those tend to be CHEAP, well as far as retired military aircraft go.
