“I have a maybe silly question !!”
If you ask questions that you think may be silly, don’t wonder if you get answers like this…
Thank You very much …. very funy picture ! 😀
Deino
PS – I got so excited – I just ordered it on-line !!
Ken
Me too !! 😉
Deino
At CDF someone noted that the first prototype has been modifidied as the wing fences are missing !
Deino
Deino will love this! 😀
Also scanned from “Aviation World” by Matuoluola.
The original J-10 swingwing!
Funny … it’s an interesting combination of a Mirage 2000 in 1/48 and a F-111 in 1/72 ! 😀
Deino
this is actually for Deino, our J-10 fetish guy …
Thanks a lot !!!! 😀
Deino …. Your J-10 fetish guy 😉
Here is a better one …
you can see the pilot sits much higher in the rear cockpit than any earlier Chinese fighters
Can’t see it … can anyone please repost this one !!
Deino 🙂
As I remember right this is a flying scale model for the CY-1 already shown at the Zuhai airshow last year (?) !
Deino
Thanks a lot !! 😉

There are a couple of side view drawings of proposed naval MiG-23’s on my ‘Russian Carrier development’ page at :- http://mysite.wanadoo-members.co.uk/flankers_pages/russian_carriers.html
Also included are drawings of the Beriev P-42 (S-3 lookalike) and Yak-44 (E-3 lookalike).

Thanks Ken for Your link, but I knew it … what was new to me is that I never knew of a proposed naval-MiG-27 !! :confused:
Deino 🙂
Wow !!
Those photos are really interesting Ken, how come no-one has commented on them ??
Dunno – maybe theyre too busy talking about the RCS on a Tu-160?
From the underwhelming response, I guess that photos of a Soviet ELINT An-74 are of no interest to anyone.
Ken
Sorry Ken … They ARE very interesting and I was thinking about that old Toko-kit too ! :diablo:
If I remember right I think I have one left very deep in my collection …. are You intersted ??
Deino 😀
If you guys are interested, I have a picture of Mig-27K carrier borne operations … (I think I lifted it from here – Arthur was the original postor?)
A MiG-27 ??? :confused: …. YES I am very interested !
Thanks in advance, Deino 🙂
Interesting … and what about the FC-1 / JF-17 ???
Deino 🙂
Thanks for the picture! I haven’t seen that one before. It looks to be the same model.
You’re as well informed as anyone on these projects, Deino. Do you think it might be a version of the J-9, they were testimg out?
Could be … but regarding the straighter wing it seems for my opinion more related to another project …. more useful for to Air-to-Ground / attack … maybe another Q-x program ! 😉
Do You think this is the same project ???
Deino
Well…
unless the inscriptions are by the mighty Draken himself;
in which case, once again my sincerest apoligies; if otherwise, my babblefish
points to tells me it’s Mirage2000-like wind tunnel speciment.
I thought too that this seems to show a Mirage 2000 or at least Mirage III-type fighter …. but if You take a look at the wings it’s exactly the same model !
Can You help me translating Your attachment, PLEASE ??
Deino 😉
[The [B]black paint [/B] might be a dead give away:
Possibly, the craft might be an unmanned EP-3 and/or high altitude
U2-like inteligence gathering apparatus
I don’t think so …. somparing this picture with onotherone I found from the same project it looks more like a fighter/striker (Air-to-Ground-attack) – maybe another Q-x-project or study – or a trainer ….or just a model to test a conceptual configuration !
Deino 🙂
