And I've got a Rareplane vacuform of it plus all the Aeroclub white metal parts for one, but not built yet

Looking back, that 144th scale German set would make an excellent in-service Luftwaffe dio. Maybe filed deployed ?

Looking at the parts photo I think they have issues with the Belfast, look at the size of the upper port holes and the cockpit seats !

Now we need them to scale up that 545 to 1/72nd

Can't comment on the issues as I know now't about the subject but castings look a cut above the normal Anigrand quality. Not that there's anything wrong with their casting but this doesn't look quite as clunky as the stuff I have.

Hannants now have their J-20 at half price:

Anigrand Craftswork
Aircraft kits (resin)
ANIG2102 1:72 Chengdu J-20 Fifth-generation stealth fighter prototype.

WAS £58.99. NOW HALF PRICE!!! NOW OUT OF PRODUCTION SO BE QUICK!

In late 1990s, the Chinese People's Liberation Army Air Force launched the stealth fighter program, Western intelligence applied the codename J-XX. The Chengdu Aircraft Industry Group was selected to be the main contractor for the development. In 2009, the China Air Force commander confirmed that the development of the stealth fighter prototype that designated J-20 was ongoing. No any imagery's of the J-20 prototype came out until it underwent high speed taxing tests in late 2010, considering that the program was kept in high secrecy. The J-20 made its first flight on 11 January 2011. The PLA have not disclosed the engine type. There are claims that the Russians supplied super-cruise capable 117S series engines. As the engine nozzles were clearly non-stealthy, this may be due to the fact that the final 'fifth generation' engines had not been completed. The J-20 is expected to use a AESA radar, which should have Low Probability of Intercept modes. The U.S. Department of Defense expects China to have the production fighters in service between 2020 and 2025.

Doesn't that need a larger fin? 

[Sauragnmon]

I love the possibly unintentional double-whif in the F-19 there... since that's really one of those "speculative fiction" kits from Monogram, the F-19 having never really been worked on...

No, just a thinner fuselage - prone crew.

And [puts on Kit costume] longer wings!

Hm, I wondered where my clothes had gone when I got up this morning.

Douglas sure had a thing about big fins it seems- old shaky C-124 and C-133 come to mind especially....
