J-20 5th Generation Fighter VII

Ok, now that Deino had put a stop on off-topic stuff, let's get back to J-20 then.
I've got some pictures that I found on Twitter, I forgot which post but it's about a diecast model of J-20 with the wing-tail config. I think it's just a fanboy wish for a heavy stealth carrier-based jet, but it's darn good looking.

here are the pics. Hope it's close enough to the topic for Deino
Oh yeah, I almost forgot. Do you guys think it is actually viable? The US had F-22N proposal, but that's plenty of empty talks. I wonder if this is actually realistically possible without the super extensive rebuild that would make the proposal pointless.

I was waiting for this for years but details are not looking that good. I didn't like the exhaust at all, need aftermarket for that. Overall shape looks accurate though.

huge disappointed with this kit, although it's very unlikely, just wish GWH could make a 48 scale j-20 someday...

The air intakes are most likely inaccurate. The way it is depicted in the kit would allow a direct view to the face of the engine fan. The kit almost certainly got this wrong.

The first two images show known helmet types. The third image shows an unknown helmet.

The first image indicates the capability of projecting of external (infrared) camera feed onto the HUD, maybe even something similar to F-35's distributed aperture system.

What is this helmet?

X-ray vision, HUD, but what is that helmet in the third image?

Third one could be voice control/command.

What? Voice command and control is nothing new. Are you implying the processing is done locally on the helmet? Why would you think that?

My question was if anyone knows anything about the third helmet, such as model number and what platform it's intended for.

If only there was some text to explain what was going on.

In the early 1960s, the aviation industry independently developed China's first-generation sealed helmet, and later improved and developed a variety of sealed helmets. Our care for pilots starts here~
