I want to see the landing bay close as well, then we can gauge how fine the workmanship is around openings.

If you can hardly see the lines when it is close then it does not rule out that a weapon bay may already be present

There are rumors floating on CD that the J-20 is about to fly again soon. Just how soon, we are not sure. However don't be surprised when new pictures come out.

If the J-20 does fly again, I hope this time round we could see either the high maneuverability combat moves or the showing of weapon bays. This would surely wipe off all speculations of all the technical issues arising from the heated agreements.

I doubt that the PLAAF, being as secretive as they are now, would actually attempt combat maneuvers on the J-20, it would be premature and it'd just be confirming or denying speculations in foreign Govt's analysis groups in regards to the J-20's abilities.

If they do decide to perform combat maneuvers, I'd also doubt that spectators would be allowed to take photos.

Maybe some basic maneuvers like those executed by the T-50 when Putin came to see it?

Doubt it, unless HJT or WJB decide to show up. But who knows, I'm more interested in how many flights the J-20 have had so far, if any since the "maiden" flight we saw.

I expect most flights now to be for testing and won't show any fancy manouvers or fly bys -- those are for airshows and dignitaries.

Well, you don't try fancy maneuvers for the first time in public or in front of dignitaries. They will have to test them quite a bit in private first. No idea when that will happen, of course - really depends on what stage they're in in their testing.

They will need to push the aircraft past its limits eventually, just to verify the specs, if nothing else. You need to know for sure what the stall speed is, how it behaves in a spin, etc.

The Z-10 was painted dark green. The the J-20 showed up and was pained dark green. Does this represent a shift?

Is this the new paint scheme for future new aircrafts? (as opposed to the old yellow primer)
