Chinese Stealth Fighter H-20 or is it?

Images of the leaked Chinese stealth fighter the H-20 appear to be a cross between a Su-24 and F-22.
Whilst previous images suggest a kitbash between the F-117, B-2 and YF-23.
Makes for an interesting build, although the wing looks more F-101 to me.

The Su-34 might be a better donor kit by moving the engine air intakes in-line on the upper fuselage above the wing joint. B-2 style air intakes.

No, that's a different design. The J-20 is available in 1:144 an 1:72, but the "H-20" (ar whatever, AFAIK there's no confirmed designation yet), and this attack aircraft rather looks like a Su-34 nose grated onto an YF-23, with wings that truly remind of the F-101.

It's not new, though, has been around since at least 2013:

Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.

It's so scary when I see China, Russia, or some other country copying U.S. designs of stuff. Makes me think we're not doing enough security-wise to prevent espionage.  :banghead:
Modeling isn't just about how good the gluing or painting, etc. looks. It's also about how creative and imaginative you can be with a subject.
My modeling philosophy is: Don't build what everyone else has done. Build instead what nobody has seen or done before.

You have to remember that most designs are generated via computer nowadays (and for years since) and that given the input parametres computers are likely to come up with very, very similar looking designs
Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.

At least SOMEONE'S using the F-23 design, which is more than the dumbheads in the USAF did...........
Kit's Rule 1 ) Any aircraft can be improved by fitting longer wings, and/or a longer fuselage
Kit's Rule 2) The backstory can always be changed to suit the model

...and I'm not a closeted 'Take That' fan, I'm a REAL fan! :)

Thanks for the info, Dizzy! I only did a quick search of H-20 and only the J-20 came up, i'd never seen that one before. :thumbsup:
I do like the design, very nice mix of ideas in that.
Besides the obvious F-23 main fuselage with SU-24 cockpit, the wings are the same as the MDD Joint Strike Fighter proposed design but i agree that, it looks a lot like the F-101's wing too.
But to build a model of that, the wing would be a hard choice for me. If i was to build such a thing, i'd probably use the F-23's complete fuselage and even use part of the wing and scratch-build the rest, the intakes would't be too hard to attach to the upper fuselage and link it to the engines. The cockpit would definitely have to be SU-24.

You could use the 1/72 F-19 engine air intakes and parts to the Su-34,F-23,F-101 kitbash.e

I'll still blame that on Lockheed shenanigans, Kit

Side-by-side seating looks attack/bomber ish
That being said, I'd like to remind everybody in a manner reminiscent of the SNL bit on Julian Assange, that no matter how I die: It was murder (even if there was a suicide note or a video of me peacefully dying in my sleep); should I be framed for a criminal offense or disappear, you know to blame.

If its H then its a Strike Bomber as J is the prefix for Chinese Fighter types.

Its the J-20 crossed with the Su-34 concept and probably not a great deal far away from the Avpro FOAS that Falcon built

The first shot looks great. Looks easy enough to copy, well, if you don`t want an exact copy  :thumbsup:
