That would be... awesome!
To be perfectly honest, I am getting very tired of trying to present reasoned positions (even at SDF). The only interest out there is to reduce every argument into a binary of "China greatest ever" or "China worst ever".Yes, but here it might be allowed, at the Keyforum a few certain menbers would bash it immediately ... anyway You are surely correct.

Seems to me the wings are far more forward, the nose is shorter, and the intakes are further outboard in the model than that CGI. All those change the plane's appearance drastically, I think. I thought Grassroot's line art is closer actually.
If at all. I have a theory that such a JH-XX program is frozen until they can develop adequate engines.Agreed, I think Bai Wei added only some kind of personnel artistic touch to it !
Anyway it doesn't matter much for me who's more or less correct, as long as they unveil this damn thing soon.

No, he's had more detailed line art before . I did say that he was only re hashing an outline of actual drawings he's made before.I mean, this CGI is obviously meant to be an interpretation of the model from the only picture we have of it which happens to be from an angle which doesn't show its full outline... out of all the things you describe, I think the only one I agree with is that the nose of the model seems a little bit shorter than in Baiwei's CGI... Hardly "wishful thinking" for that change in detail imo, especially when we don't know how accurate the model's detailed proportions are relative to the actual proposal design of the plane.
And yeah, of course Grassroot's line art is closer to the model's appearance given it is only a piece of vague outline with no details at all >_>
