Shenyang next gen combat aircraft thread

[Blitzo]

China, the only country in the world where fanboys got bored of 6th generation fighter sightings. Meanwhile sods like me living at the butt end of the world were wondering if the lack of CHAD news recently was because they were moved for testing at Yangliang. Presumably not yet since sightings still happen?

It's way too early for J-36 (please stop calling it CHAD, for the love of god) to be moved to Yanliang.

The flowers indicate it is an old video.

The only thing left now is for a kind friend from Shengyang to sacrifice 10 to 20 years of their lives for the greater good and give us that elusive frontal cockpit/air intake photo.

P.S. I always wonder whether a leaker can appeal to mental illness as a justification when they get caught by the MSS?

Just another good reason to keep you behind bars like what else would you expect

Self-explanatory.

Canopy's bit too pronounced IMO.

They've clearly lengthened the side bays to make them fit PL-10 missiles, and is that model suggesting an additional long weapons bay within the ventral groove? I know there was some speculation on that on this thread a while back, but did that ever go anywhere?

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...

Canopy's bit too pronounced IMO.

And way too far forward. It ends (the very back of it) right above the nose landing gear.

All in all, this is actually quite a terrible model.
