Definetley real mate. If you look on the tail you can just about see the Hungarian air force markings. It could have been for some ceremony or exercise. If you do an image search for the Nato tiger meet exercise you will probably find alot of different aircraft painted up with Tiger stripes.

Here is another. The Hungarians did this for the decommissioning of the MI 24 Hind.

The Hind's so good looking, yet in an ugly way..just like the A-10 tankbuster 'plane.
I always thought that the Joe Tigerforce stuff was outlandish paint wise, but when you see some Tiger-meet paint jobs!

at least the tiger meet stuff's temporary, TF stuff was always painted like that!

Then some get really f@cked up!
I remember seeing a Cavalier coming out of the paint shed at RAF Scampton gleaming in Red Arrows red!
I do remember seeing a 1/18 Hind. I think it was either Elite force or the peacekeepers.
