Someday, I’m going to get this 1:18 scale F14 from JSI. 😀 oh, they’re plastic btw. Not diecast.
You mean something like this
I have the same impression.
Yes, thats my impression. Based on that. I would speculate that the intake ducts curve upward and inwards. The intakes are lower than the engines and the ducts have to curve inwards to meet the toed in engines. They might pass above the weapon bays too.
Compressor face
Indeed, the Flanker looks larger.
Part of is because of the tall vertical fins and landing gear. But still.From this photo we should be able to get more accurate dimensions.
I really doubt we will seen the blades … the plane is not exact lined.. but base d on the picture IMHO the duct goes down in a smoth way and covers the blade
From the top view and comparing with the Flanker. I think the engines might be toed in towards the front and the thrust line is adjusted using thrust vectoring. This together with the duct being curved and RAM materials in the duct means that the compressor face is probably very shielded.
