Personally I have gone from thinking of it as a joke to a possible subscale demonstrator for a real platform or even a manned test subject for a UCAV.  It might all still turn out to be a joke though.

Either way, you can already get a kit for it:

All hail the God of Frustration!!!

But you can make the Bastard work for it.

Real aircraft or jet-powered go-kart?

Typical model companies: rush a kit into production that replicates an early prototype rather than the service aircraft  ;D. It looks like there's a lot of work to be done to make the FP kit replicate "08" in its improved form.

Mmmm, still have my doubts:
that wing is really thick, the downturned tips make no sense for 'stealth',
the intakes look like they'd be blanked at even a mild AOA, etc., etc.
