Splinter cell camo looks awesome guys. This program is progressing everyday it seems.

What are those bumps?View attachment 344571

Some of those are flight control surface actuators. The bump under the LERX was speculated by some in the past to be some sort radar or EW module, but from what I saw with the landing gear doors opened, it seems to just be space for the landing gear to be stowed, but the frontal part of the bump could be something else. I don't know what the bump on the tail sting is for.

Thanks. Wouldn't those bumps affect RCS? BTW, J10 also has those bumps at the rear edges of the wings.

You can shape these bumps into stealth just as you shape the fuselage. No problem.

Below you can see the bumps of F-22.

The level of detail on the new design of J-20 can be seen through year of iteration. I must say the design team did a well done job maximizing its stealthiness. Just a beautiful aircraft.

Besides being simply fascinated by this bird in general I find it most amazing how much different the colour looks depending the lightning-situation. If You look at the plain grey bird, it sometimes looks like a dark grey, nearly charcoal like and sometimes it's a light-grey with a typical metallic shining ...

The LRIP birds seem to be darker, and the splinter camo birds seem to even be matte in finish. I personally prefer the matte finish.
