"China's stealth fighter program hit a milestone when a sophisticated prototype of its J-20 aircraft made its first flight earlier this month.

CAC spent a lot of time testing two previous prototypes—Nos. 2001 and 2002—before making the changes to the new version.

There's some good stuff on Shapeways in that regard. Also, you can print it in frosted or transparent and leave it unpainted for the "invisible" look. Really, there's a gap in gaming rules for strategic air combat. I'll have to think this one through… it's come up before. :) |
