Only me,  he reminds  YF-22 with and DFI air intake from F-35 and jet engines from MiG-29? :)

B.w.  as appears from discussion at the forum Paralay

http://paralay.iboards.ru/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=1481&st=0&sk=t&sd=a&sid=21f8c9b9d5b0ac35198e92542a5ec988&start=210

J-31 v.01 and J-31 v.02 very diffrent aircraft, much more different than J-20 N 2001 and J-20 N 2011 !!!

 

And J-31 no little aircraft, especially if to compare with ATD-X:

Really good to have an early model of the original prototype.  Waiting for the next iteration, like the J-20.

Halfway through the build.

Overall a reasonable representation, based on images available on the web. Key irritations to date are:

  • Shape of the lower rear fuselage - tapers too much compared to available images 
  • Engine exhausts need grinding down to fit through available holes
  • Nose gear door hung on wrong side, with three chevrons rather than two at front and rear
  • Need to fabricate the prominent internal fairing behind the ejector seat - original has strips of tape which allow a good guess at shape
  • Moulded limit of the nose radome needs rescribing in correct position

Purists will enjoy adding some greeblies to the main and nose gear areas, and what I assume are radar reflectors on the wings.

 

Oh that the original Airfix Jaguar had been this good....
