Hard to get interested in the model when the jet design has not been made public yet

Given the price of these large, diecast models, I feel like you would want to be very confident that every last angle, curve and detail is correct, and I'm not sure the public imagery is there to support that yet, notwithstanding the changes that are likely to occur as development progresses. Still, it's tempting...

We have been through this with the J-20 models before, none of these will be accurate regardless of price (not time for that matter). The only way you'll be getting an (remotely) accurate model is with an invitation to tea and atleast ten years of your life.

It's interesting how inaccurate you can reproduce an object geometry having pretty much references. "Edge alignment - never heard of this" (just look at bottom inlet lips). Still, at one day it will be rare piece anyway.
