exdraken Posted May 28, 2022 Share Posted May 28, 2022 What ist the difference to the B model, that already Had the DSI intakes and I think Chinese nozzles/ engines? https://www.scalemates.com/en/kits/trumpeter-02848-j-10b-vigorous-dragon--142722 Pakistani decals I hope at least! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amos brierley Posted May 28, 2022 Share Posted May 28, 2022 Pakistan has taken delivery of a version called : J-10CE it looks lovely in the Pakistan light and dark grey swath’s. It’s got the fwd swept intake for enhanced RCI reduction ( better stealth) and an AESA radar ( different radome configuration). This version as I know it is called the B version which I have in my garage. So, I don’t know what the C version is? Maybe this kit will come with different weapons. And, I must assume E stands for export. Any hoo, with a little more research this will be going onto my wish list. One final note is that this is a response to India buying Dassault Rafale’s , and there fore an arms race, with India reliant on Russian weapons and their performance recently, expect India to start buying more western products. 😉 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tony.t Posted May 29, 2022 Share Posted May 29, 2022 Nice. Would like them finally to do some of these modern Chinese jets in 1/32, especially the J-8 and J-10, but this project means the prospects remain alive. Tony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony J-8 and modern is maybe a bit far-fetched... J-10 of course is... J-20 even more so! I would also take aa J-7 Leopard or A-5 Fantan in 48...or an early J-8 A.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would also take aa J-7 Leopard or A-5 Fantan in 48...or an early J-8 A.... J-8s are still operational, albeit in diminishing numbers. About 100-125 remaining at last count. J-20's a bit big for 1/32, but having said that a new tool of the SAC J-15/J-15T "Mandarin Sea Flanker" would really float my Liaoning. Even in 1/48. The 1/48 J-10C will be very welcomed.

stalal Posted June 5, 2022 Share Posted June 5, 2022 (edited) I hope it carries Pakistan Air Force decals which recently took delivery of 25 J-10CEs. It looks very cool in PAF grey livery. https://defence.pk/pdf/threads/falcons-spotters-aviation-photography.671225/post-13778808 Edited June 5, 2022 by stalal 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
exdraken Posted June 5, 2022 Share Posted June 5, 2022 https%3A%2F%2Ffalcons.pk%2FImage%2FPhoto-4270.jpg Wonder if Pakistan will be happy with the Chinese WS -10 engines! I think they are the first export costumes! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

exdraken Posted June 26, 2022 Share Posted June 26, 2022 Thanks! Not sure if the ECM pods of the last sprue pics are new, could be! no info regarding potential Pakistani decals unfortunately... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SAT69 Posted June 27, 2022 Share Posted June 27, 2022 Maybe it's just me, but the canopy and windscreen look very cloudy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
salomon Posted June 29, 2022 Share Posted June 29, 2022 I see that this update has exactly the same content as the preceding, only the ECM and the targeting pods are included. I hope that the decoration of the Pakistani army would be present. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stalal Posted July 13, 2022 Share Posted July 13, 2022 HobbyEasy has it on pre-order for Canadian $27. Not a bad price. https://www.hobbyeasy.com/en/data/muktbh0zf7rtmh5dzzue.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But if that is the case, then no Pakistan Air Force markings in the box. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
