Chengdu J-20

This aircraft is a proposed  aircraft said to be in design/production in China. The aircraft is a Chinese stealth fighter that bears a striking resemblance to the F22/F35, especially in the nose section.

The model was produced by a Chinese model company (I can't read Chinese) and was fairly easy to build. Most models have the wheel wells as part of the bottom half of the fuselage. Not this model. Here you must build the wheel well and the intakes. It was a fairly easy model to build and looked amazing when it was finished.

The aircraft is not currently operational, only a test model exists with the plan to have it in the skies by 2017/2018. (Let's hope the US invents invisibility by then)

  This aircraft looks amazing, but when you look closer, it appears to simply be an F22 on steroids with plastic surgery making it's nose seem like it was taken right from an F35. I like the way the plane looks... only because it looks incredibly American.
  
  I personally can't wait to see this aircraft operation, and am excited to see videos of it flying. But I trust that by time it reaches operational use, it will be horribly outdated
