Plenty of similar to be seen at any model airshow though. Just takes a

Are the engines scaled-down RB211s or what? What fuel do they burn?

You can buy very small jet engines these days.
Same technology as cruise missiles.

I have yet to see a stealth fighter model (not that i have looked much),
they can only fly by wire as they are unstable.
It used to be quite common for models to not be quite the same as the real
