discussion Chengdu J20 Black Eagle - Dragon Kits 1/144

[yak face]

Heres my latest , the Dragon 1/144 kit of the Chengdu J20 'Black Eagle' . The kit represents the first flying prototype of this large stealthy fighter being developed by the chinese. There are now around six or seven completed development aircraft flying , the later ones being very slightly different to this one. The aircraft is expected to enter service in 2018. Its a very simple kit of only 25 parts but very nicely detailed , although there arent many (read ANY!) panel lines other than control surfaces , but given the stealthy nature of the airframe and the scale its perfectly acceptable. heres the pics , cheers tony

Superbly done... and such a tiny scale....... Very sinister and looks lot bigger than it is. I like it a lot.

Another tiny wee masterpiece Tony!


How do you store all these tiny kits Tony? I know they don't take up much room individually, but you must have quite a few by now .....

Great work Tony, looks like a lot of Russian influence in the design. Looks like a stretched Sukhoi T-50 with Canards stuck on. Lovely paint job. Derek
