*drops jaw* Holy crab, now that's a nice, smooth, upgrade to the J-8B!!!
MLUs are a must now for small wingers like the J-8B.

Except for the fuel tank. Don't outside fuel tanks really wreck your speed?

I love this one, Swimmer. who draw that? it looks 4th gen. but can you make its air intake something like DSI? Add TVC, and please enlarge the internal fuel capacity something like Su-27 series that it does not rely on drop tanks, and free pylons for weapons.

May be I request too much :)

Thats probably the best drawing we've seen so far. It looks more like a Mirage 3 than a Russian aircraft. I would expect it to have double delta wings to give it maximum performance, though. That upgrade will probably only come much later.

I got it from a chinese website :eek:
I think LEGO (not the toy block company) is the company that drew it, reminds me of the FC-1

A F-16 (the rear) and a Mirage 2000 (the front) for the canopy form.;)

F-16 and Mirage 2000?
Can't see the Mirage....
All I can see is the kid Mr. J-8F and Ms. FC-1 had together. :D

Uh, do you have the URL of this Lego site?

The jet's rear might look somehow like a F-16, but it's double engines. The nose may look similar to Mirage-2000, but the air in-take are never seen on any air craft. I guess the size of the air craft is slightly smaller than F-15, but larger than F-16.
 
I still dont seem to be able to pick out any resemblance between Swimmer's fighter and the J-8. It could be just as well a "redesigned," J-7 or F-16 of FC-1 IMO. I might as well post a pic of a F-22 and declare it a redisgned Su-27.
