Please clarify status of J-7MF & J-7CP projects

Thus far I knew that these remained paper projects/models only, yet I have found references that a prototype of the J-7MF may have been built. Can anyone tell me if prototypes of these exist or not?
Thnx in advance,
Costas
P.S. Pic source: PLAAF pic thread

MF had a mockup, CF....who knows. Both projects are dead.

Thanks. I guess hope dies last. I wanted to make scale models of them if prototypes were built. BTW, did you notice that the nose section of the CP looks just like the F-102A Delta Dagger, right down to the shape of the air intakes?

Nah, the J-7CP was eventually changed into the FC-1.

J-7MF was a competitor to the FC-1, and since the FC-1 is flying now, the FC-1 won and the MF is scrapped.

not exactly true, F-7MF is still in development really. CAC claims that F-7MF can be just as capable as FC-1. Anyhow, here is an article on MF.

Thanks, everyone. BTW, I can't read Chinese, so can someone PLEASE translate the article tphuang posted????

oh brother, let me see if I can do this:
J-7MF is a plane in the J-7 series, but it's really a completely different fighter.
The intake is now located in the belly.
There is a lot of changes in the wing, tail, vertical stabilizer and such.
Originally, J-7 only had 2 hardpoints under the wings and one under the fuelsage. Now, it has 7 hardpoints.

The avionics on MF has reached modern standard.
It talks a lot about the changes that allowed for better fuel efficiency - better operating radius and such. Also, talked about the aerodynamics in different speed ranges.
6 hardpoints are under the wings and 1 is under the fuelsage.
The payload will be 4.5 tonnes.
The avionics will be dependent on the customer. MF uses a domestic turbojet engine. It says the development period is short+low cost. The progress of MF is behind FC-1. J-7FS is a prototype of MF?

Wow, that was fast! thanks a lot!

Just wondering, since we know FC-1 is the ressurected super-7 project by the interest of pakistan and mainly for import and that we know fc-1 and j-10's demand are a bit limited in numbers. Could MF be the replacement of F-7s???

The F-7MF (not J-7MF) is not a PLAAF approved scheme and is mainly for export. That's why it should not be referred to with a "J" but only with an "F".
