Thanks ...

Again ... will that kit be at Telford next weekend ?

Will the test-shot be at Telford next week? Deino

Sorry and thanks for Your reply ... must have mis-read the first post.

Care to post a link or image of these decals please ?? All I see is this: http://www.luckymodel.com/scale.aspx?item_no=KI-K48065 ... but do decals. :-(

Thanks for You kind reply !

Ohhh ... and please also this one !

Yes and therefore I really do not understand why this forum only allows to upload images up to a size that is barely a stamp.

None of these images is showing up ?!!

... and the PLAAF-option on the decals too !

Another LRIP bird ... another colour scheme !

Can wait to see it finished.

The PLAAF got their first four J-20A only after Zhuhai. They are assigned to the 176th Brigade FTTC at Dingxin AB and have 7827x-serials. Known si so far x = 1 - 4. For images look here: http://chinese-military-aviation.blogspot.de/p/gallery-i.html (scroll down) http://chinese-military-aviation.blogspot.de/2012/07/fighters_18.html and https://www.facebook.com/Modern-Chinese-Warplanes-611223845748378/posts/

Hey nice ... and already with 176. Brigade serial numbers ! Is it one of the two in splinter camo ? From the few images available I would say these two are 78273 & 78174; whereas 78271 & 78172 are plain grey.

Has anyone seen build models of these latest Chinese types ?? Especially the J-20 and most of all the J-10B. All I was able to find were these "first look" links ... J-20A - the revised prototypes: http://ipms-deutschland.business.t-online.de/FirstLook/Trumpeter/Tru_Chengdu_J-20_2011/Trumpeter_Chengdu_J-20_2011.html J-20 - the demonstrators: http://www.ipmsdeutschland.de/FirstLook/Trumpeter/Trumpeter_Chengdu_J-20/Tru_Chengdu_J-20.html J-10B: http://www.ipmsdeutschland.de/FirstLook/Trumpeter/Tru_Chengdu_J-10B/Tru_Chengdu_J-10B.html C

Indeed !!! Yufei ... my favourite modeller is back ! First of all I hope to see from Your simply amazing work ! ... all the best to You and Your family for 2017. Deino

Just noticed that the new Trumpeter kit for the prototype 2011 in 1/72 is already ready: http://www.trumpeter-china.com/index.php?g=home&m=product&a=show&id=2899&l=en Has anyone seen it already ?? ... or even build? Deino

Thanks for Your kinds words ... and Yes, there's something in the pipeline. To admit it is expected that two J-20As will appear at Zhuhai next month and so I'm sure, we will get enough close-ups from nearly each and every corner of that bird. Deino

Following the latest reports there are already 7 LRIP J-20A flying. Four of them are confirmed including two grey ones (one of them in the splinter scheme) and two more in yellow. There are even reports that last week the first two left CAC and were handed over to the PLAAF within the FTTC and the Dingxing AB; however no confirmation. As such this is more a matter of weeks or months that this bird enters operational service and not years. However if You mean a fully operational front-line regiment, then You are correct. Deino

... and also showing the weapons bays open !

... even better ones ...

... or in this canary-bird-like yellow primer ?

... or if You prefer in a plain dark grey !?

... please ...

Just to keep You updated ... and maybe as a wink to any serious modelling company: We need a decent kit of this beast ! Deino
