Is this what they are referring to? The coloring of the pedals on the newer photos has always looked odd to me, I posted this a while back, before the J-20 flew, but people wrote it off as just an illusion.

Left image is of the 1031 prototype a few months ago. The colors of the pedals appear reversed. Right photo is the same with an older photo superimposed on the tail to show the difference.

Strange ... and what's that thing behind ???

Is is really a mock-up ? ...as such an enginering model or simply a model without much reliability - like the IRST-dome and the J-10A-radome ... and then that "thing" behind is a simple model too ??

Got to say that those model designers are getting better everyday lol. Maybe the government should hire them so they could make decoys in times of War.

I was wondering that myself. The site I got it from had no info about the photo itself.

If it was to fool the satellites they have blow up models for that purpose. I wonder why it is made quite meticulous.

I think it may be mock ups for logistics training - remember there were mockup of J-11 like jet on the carrier building at wuhan. And given there is an early warning aircraft for carrier operation behind it, and suppose that aircraft is also a mockup and used for training. Does this suggest J-10 variant may find use on carrier? (but also don't look like it, the model has a refuelling probe. but then so does rafael)
