Fighting Eighty-Four Posted October 18, 2016 Share Posted October 18, 2016 That is a pretty cool looking bird, and the splinter scheme def looks nice on it. I would guess Hobby Boss/Trumpeter will kit this at some point in the future, possibly as this comes into operational service in a couple of years. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Deino Posted October 18, 2016 Author Share Posted October 18, 2016 56 minutes ago, Fighting Eighty-Four said: ... possibly as this comes into operational service in a couple of years. 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.

foxmulder_ms Posted October 18, 2016 Share Posted October 18, 2016 I cannot wait to build these and put them next to F-22s in my display cabinet. :) Quote Link to post Share on other sites

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.

Yeah, I really dig its looks from these angles; the wing and stabilizer configuration give it a pretty cool style (kind of like the MiG 1.44, but with a way nicer frontal part) and this splinter camo is way nicer than the black paint job. There should have been a model in 1/48 already. Come on Hobby Boss.. Edited October 19, 2016 by ijozic Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Deino Posted October 19, 2016 Author Share Posted October 19, 2016 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?

foxmulder_ms Posted October 19, 2016 Share Posted October 19, 2016 I don't build 1/72 otherwise I would have been all over it. :D Quote Link to post Share on other sites
archybean Posted October 19, 2016 Share Posted October 19, 2016 Looks like the love child of a Raptor, Viggen, and a Foxbat. I do like the looks of it though! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
