They shouldn't leave the nose grey. it'll look much better in top half red and bottom half green! O, and the sunder should be in gold too (just like the five stars). Still it's a really nice paint job considering they just got couple of days ago.

Usually you don't touch that part, which is reserved for radar functionality.
But anyway, a nice bird. I watched the video and found it impressive, esp the big attack angle.

Re: New JF-17/FC-1 thread
well, Chinese forums also have threads like how to beat F-22s with J-8s. Basically, confidence of Chinese forums shouldn't be used an argument.
WS-13? It's not ready.
We don't know what their RCS are. Too many other factors on top of frontal area and intake. And you know, normally larger aircraft are considered to be better at BVR range due to obvious reasons.

Re: New JF-17/FC-1 thread
One of the largest frontal radar reflectivity is off of the engine fan blades. The DSI structure should help reduce reflections. A while back I read a google-translated article whereby the WS-13 engine fan blades would be coated with metallic-based RAM. The material in question is composed of fine ferrite particles (or some other material) plasma-sprayed onto the blades. It sounds plausible, but it may be speculation. Opinion?
Re: New JF-17/FC-1 thread
Most of those google translated articles come from speculative pieces written on Chinese forums.
oh, I thought you were actually talking about the boxed structure of J-10's intake causing a lot radar reflectivity. But as for the engine fan blades, J-10's intake hides that completely. That's one of the few visible radar reduction measures for J-10.

Spraying RAM on the engine fan blades have been done in some fighters like the Flanker series. But for the FC-1 or any fighter that has their flan blades covered, this is redundant and not necessary.
