Has anyone done a quality 3-view of the prototype yet?
No, its in progress. You cant have the quality and the fast speed in the same time.
There is not any need for the 5th generation fighter in Europe. Eurofighter and Rafale are alerady equipped with the latest technologies and when they receive TVC engines, the only area where they will be in the disadvantage will be stealth. And even this feature can be done in the mid-life update (see stealthified Rafale and Gripen with external stealthy bomb bays here: http://www.hitechweb.genezis.eu/stealth4f.htm), not to mention active stealth technology, developed by Dassault and flight tested already in 1999!
Both planes, that are true multirole fighters, are the best choice for the Europe for the current battlefields. F-35 has the potential to be one of them, if the LM will be able to keep the costs on the reasonable level. It has better stealth, but lower usefull weapons load. And after the 20 years we will have nEUROn derived operational service UCAVs for the high risk threats, so this is where the current investments go.

Only this from SOC that you probably already know.
What is the official version for that research?, i really doubt it was meant to be fit on a bigger bomber, in which year the Su-27LL-UV was tested with this device.
Official version is to test the new technologies to improve the efficiency of the modern aircrafts. It count T-10-26 or Su-27LL-UV (KS) with a round shaped TVC nozzle, T-10-16 or Su-27UB blue 08 or Su-27LL-UV (PS) with the flat TVC nozzle and Su-27LL-OS for the tests of the aft-firing R-73.
I should note the size of the flat nozzle. Su-27 is relatively big plane itself, but the experimental nozzle on it is just enormous (compared for example with the similar TF-15A). So if the purpose is only to test the flat TVC nozzle, why to do it so big? But I havent sufficiently confirmed it by my sources that it really was designed for the izdelije 54, so I am forced to say, that for now it is the plausible rumour, not fact.
Enough of the provisional drawings.
Closer and closer…

When the question is the aesthetics of the appearance, the worst looking planes all the time for me will still be the 1st and 2nd generation soviet jet planes. They are UGLY!
MiG I-320
Sukhoi Su-15 (the first one from 1949)
Sukhoi PT-7
In fact it was not project “1376”, but 1300-76. It was the chosen configuration with the chin air intake. There was also the slightly shorter alternative 1300-77A with the dorsal air intake.
I knew that our fighters need a new paint ASAP, but I didnt expect that it will be so good. Cool!!! 🙂 🙂

Learjets and so with hardpoints:

Thanks for your replies guys,
I mostly wanted to know other opinions. It is clearly possible to modifly Learjet wing to have provision for hardpoints. I know – not an easy task, but nothing what cant be done. For example Finland bought them with such a provision.
Regarding to Super Ednards – see here:
Ough, how dissapointing. Its Stavatti SM-36 Stalma 🙁
However thanks for your effort Stealth Spy 😉
