Did someone actually crawl in there to take the photo?

That's easy, there's dozen ways of doing so. for example, you can push the camera into it and use a remote control... etc.

An interesting Tweet was posted today by @JeffHwang_EntH:

"A rare evidence of J-10 naval version: wooden scaled model of J-10J.
I found it by accident on Zhihu, the author's father was a worker in CAC. This model was used in the demonstration, and was brought back to home as a keepsake after the project was cancelled."

Not the first time that I've heard of the J-10 having one time been considered as a candidate for a naval carrier-based fighter.

The hand-made wooden model was claimed to have at least 22 years of history.

There's also this wing unfolded photo of the same model

i wonder why, after all these years, the pla-airforce still uses unguided rockets and puts its high valued aircraft at risc of machineguns and manpads, unless it's maybe just for training new pilots.
