There is generally two designs for it
KFX-101, the conventional lay out planform and less riskier and more accepted lay out.
KFX-201, canard delta. Not preferred by the military, yet is often used on internet sites as representing the KFX design.
both design have a small bay and will use two engines for maritime role. to enhance stealth, it will use a true s-duct design. some problems will remain on if the US will export the engine, and the type of contribution Indonesia can give.
