I also think same sir,because by available means it's completely finished plane,we have seem many during testing phase and all were in Yellow finish.
And I guess training rounds are blue,may bethat's live ammunition if so that's surely not first flight.
taxi tests of first prototype have been going on for about a month....the yellow proto u saw just conducted a taxi test....in this one month , paint job might have been done too....btw i am hoping 1 more video , maybe of ceremony of jf17b since zarvan says that official first flight is on 29 and acm will visit
I have seen a video right here of it conducting high-speed taxi tests with the paint scheme already on, only the two flags on the tail were left out (the Chinese one was just a red patch and the Pakistani one was just a grey patch). So I wouldn't take the paint job as an indication for the claim.
I said this a few times, but the PAF needs to paint the nose and front fuselage in the same shade. It changes the look of the JF-17, and for the better.
Agreed. Just like on the F-16, the difference is obvious between the No.9/11 and the No.5 birds.
Anyone here thought of the possibility of these things not actually being on the real production AC?
After all the B variant being shown is still a prototype , on its first flight.
These "hinges" and perhaps even that nose tip thing might not appear on the production variants.
The nose tip thing (pitot tube) is definitely not going to be there since its use is only during the testing phase to gather data.
