Is it just me, or do the pictures seem to show the Y-20 with yellow fuselage one moment, and green/blue fuselage (composites?) the next? It's probably just lighting, if there were two Y-20s within such close proximity of each other we'd hear the screaming chatter, and one doesn't just change panels on a plane like that within so many few minutes.

i certainly see that too

They are testing stealth painting. You know, the kind that would make the plane invisible to the naked eye :eek:

Seriously, I thinking its just lighting...

actually the one odd ball that is showing all yellow paint is the one which is saturated, and even there i can see some shade of green
the other pictures are consistently showing green (composite) panels, also in consistent neutral saturation

but perhaps we should wait for a clear picture

I mean it's probably just lighting, but such a contrast in colour is impossible to ignore.

on Schumy's front picture we can see the fuselage is green, while the leading edge is yellow

pretty much the same yellow saturation with the odd ball picture
