[GriffinsRule]

Cleaner than that even. Maybe something akin to this

certified by whom?


did you receive an email from Air intelligence?

Quite possibly not.

Looking better and better; that radio antenna needs to be attended to. Sticks out like a sore thumb.

But is there really so much different?? I only spot that small squared part on the very front end of the green panel and the tail's rudder is painted.

The front section looks like a Panavia Tornado

It can be customized on demands of PAF.

Same 02 prototype with different nose cone and pitot tone on the nose [emoji103] so eventually he third pitot tube moved

HMD's?

You can tell where the Ifr probe is installed with screws and panel is removed

If they could make the antennas on the nose internals akin to the way the MLU F-16s or even F-18s have, that would be something great. Probes and sensors sticking out kill some of the aesthetics

they can apply J20 conformal antenna in the future, but it costs a lot.

Seems like they're careful with the photographs this time after the first prototype was criticised for its looks.

Definitely meant for third parties.

The manufacturers of military fighter jet are obviously concerned about what two bit posters on a forum have to say about their jet's looks. Definitely.

Yeh right they are all day visiting pdf and other forums to make sure their product reviews and comments are incorporated in next version / block . Who care what actual customer wants or aero principles requirements are

i hope PaF pilot can wear this when driving BlKIII

Sucks that they still didn't take care of those hideous door hinges for that canopy.
