... and the ventral fins are missing !
They better not be, Dr. Song will go down to Chengdu and kick some butt, and if he calls me, I'll go with him! Leave my vertical stabs and ventral fins alone.[COLOR="Silver"

Lion I mean that is better for me a j20 as it is operative in 2015 instead of a super j20 with all stuff, nozzles , etc in 2020

First set of pictures: F-22 doesn't have these sawtooth on the control surfaces either. Sawtooth isn't needed when proper edge alignment has already been used on the J-20. That's not to say it isn't an interesting solution. Also, read the statement on the F-22's picture, and you will see that he still thinks the trailing edge of the J-20 is "flat". Obviously, he is ignorant to the top-view of J-20.
Second set of pictures: the structure used to hide the gap on the J-20 is right in the picture. It is more elegant compared to Rafale's (and J-10's) solution because it is not an after-thought.
Third set of pictures: how does he see RAM coating and the material being used with naked eyes? What an idiot.
Forth set of pictures: he just highlighted the break in continuity in the left picture. In that same picture, we also see the top-view of F-22 showing the exact same break.
Next five pictures: I have seen this argument before. The problem with this argument is that round edge also exists on F-22, F-35 and PAKFA as the chine of the nose.
Next four pictures: is a top-view diagram for all three stealth aircraft. One less edge represents one less direction to reflect radar to.

That's the 2001 prototype. The star on 2001 is slightly larger and more centrally placed on the tail IMHO

I see many here are still of the opinion 2001 has been the only one flying.
The only one that we've seen, yeah...
The feeling is that this plane should be 2003 with mission avionics while 2002 is the static test frame. If there is another one flying somewhere, chances are that it's called 2001 as well.
Personally with these pics and talk of the high up people visiting CAC, I'm cautiously confident we'll see another prototype take off within a month or so.
Yea even huitong reported it a while ago..
"The latest rumor (March 2012) claimed that the #2003 prototype has been constructed and may fly soon."

This picture is from the time before J-20's first flight. I'm posting this here for lulz. We can see the amount of work that people are willing to put in in their desperation to dismiss the J-20:
These people must be faced palming themselves heavily as the J-20 now flies high and they themselves are sinking low

Nah, they were too busy dreaming up other ways to try and discredit the news. Like the claims that it is only a mock up which was rapidly changed to claims that it is a 'ground demonstrator' that could only taxi around but cannot actually fly; when she flew, there came the claims that she is a one-off tech demonstrator and that she doesn't have weapons bays; when pictures of weapons bays emerged, it was claimed the J20 is a 23m monster that will only be able to fly fast (and not very fast because she is underpowered and DSI prevents it going faster than M2) and not be a true all round air dominance fighter like the F22; to this day, there are still people who insist that the J20 is 23m+ and is a stealth striker and doesn't have nearly enough wing to dogfight.
These claims are all made or championed by the same sort of people, and they ate wrong so often that it really isn't much of an accomplishment or surprise when their claims are proven wrong, as usual.
People like that probably have to look the word 'shame' up in dictionary.com to know what it means.
