I hope you can do it, CAG.

The J-10's skin shouldn't be too hard to make... it is either solid gray-blue or 2 tone blue, like the F-2A.

The Chinese are serious players.
They will in 10 years have the best, and most extreme high speed M9+
Wind Tunnels.
question
What will this do for the Chinese?
(in refferance to these planes)
answer
They'll sell the shit out of em, like they do everything else.
If we are not watchfull here and start pumping money in a big way NOW into our R&D capibilities ....
we will be second place someday.
Then as impossible as it seems ... they could actually start to purpose bids to make military stuff for us, cheaper than we could make it. They would first go after non-combat aircraft and such ...

I've said this before on this board ...
The Chinese are serious players.
Don't believe me do a few searches about Chinese Wind Tunnels.

Now that you mention it, I think that the F-16 would probably make a better J-10, but only with your shape editing.

You would need to raise the horizontal stabilizers and move them forward, as well as trim their shape. Also, you would need to move the wings backwards.

The F-16's general size, nose shape, and tail shape are more accurate than the X-31s in comparison with the J-10.

Yes that is true, and I learned quite alot more this weekend during the creation of the IL-28 and I have found I can move polygons farther along the shape then I originally thought, which is very good news for shapes like this...

CAG out...
