Hehe, I saw that the aircraft looks a lot "busier" than in any other pictures. I just hoped that you could do a blow by blow what-is-what anaylysis... and which J-20 this one may be? J-2003?

Hmmm ... I'm still not sure and besides a slightly lighter radome (but could also be not) it looks quite the same as 2002. Are we sure that 2002 is no longer at CAC ??

Deino :confused:

That pic you can definitinely see the gray radome.

I think that plane is just 2002?

The radome doesn't look as grey as the the plane in the hangar.


I think the plane in the hangar with the grey radome (I do not think it is merely a trick of the light) is 2003.



I suppose it all depends on whether 2002 is still at CAC...


EDIT:

Actually wait no, looking at the nose again that is definitely the mysterious grey radomed bird in the hangar. It could be 2003.

I can't see the a 200X designation on the nose though, it's covered... Either that or there isn't one, yet.'

I suppose this plane can either be:
-2002 fitted with a new nose/radome
Or
-2003

The panel that would have the designation seems to be removed in the picture. Maybe they're fitting it with something avionics related.

Hmm thing is the designation comes "under" the cockpit quite a bit too, and I can only clearly see the panel rear of the nose removed.

That is to say, part of the designation should be visible under the ladder

It's so blurry even if there was a number there we couldn't clearly tell anyway, I think.

Tbh I don't even know why we bother with these "hot off the press" predictions of the plane's detailed parts haha. Just wait for clearer pics, which will surely arise within either a few hours or days. I suppose it's just part of the fun of PLA watching.

Too hard to tell with that quality of a picture, but it looks like the panels behind the ladder are also removed. Maybe enhancing the picture will help?

We are impatient people.

Hmm no I don't quite see it -- unfortunately it's still too blurry (and the aircraft's surface too dark) to conclusively tell where the panel actually ends. To me it looks like it could end just before the ladder as easily as after/under it.
