J-35 carrier fighter (PLAN) thread

Supposedly the mockup for J-35 again. Huitong has put it on his page too, so presumably it's legit. Frankly I see no difference in dimensions to the third FC-31 prototype but then again from this angle its hard to say, especially with the supposedly larger horizontal stabilisers and wing.
If this is the final wing they've chosen then it looks like they've picked the F-22 style arrangement where the horizontal slabs "cut" into the rear of the main wings.
Compare that with FC-31 V2.0.
Waiting to see if the engine will be more hidden than on the fc-31 prototypes and other depictions. Presently, the design have poor side ir suppression for the engines...
By the way, any idea, where it was spotted? ... at least it has PLA markings!
Oh? Not again a model for a theme park again?!!

It’s that Nimitz knockoff theme park.

So the question is: Was this alleged J-35 model seen on this theme park carrier, then we better forget it ... but if it was spotted anywhere else, it could be a hint!

On April 30th, AVIC Guizhou Institute listed a project on the official Chinese military procurement portal. It's an R&D item for stealth coating, presumably for engine nozzles. It calls for eight examples to be constructed by Dececmber, 2022. Sharing this here because it might have something to do with the new carrier fighter project.
Of course, AVIC Guizhou Institute is responsible for medium and low-thrust turbofan development. The image below is a publicity blurb about the institute. The underlined text says the institute is responsible for the engines for China's shipborne/carrier fighter. Again, nothing we don't already know or suspect.
