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

I was kinda hoping the 2003 has 3D TVC like that chinese netizen said(dude's net name starts with h), but I'm not sure if I'm asking too much or too early

I honestly do not expect TVC installation and tests until the final engine is ready. In fact I have half a mind to ignore the entire behind of the plane until we get the final engine :p

^l-z beat me to it

black paint hid so much detail from us, the grey paint reflects better and will show shapes better

but my, that pic is simply delicious, certainly F-35 production standard there
in the realm of nerds, what is this, a panty flash?
