But the J-10 is something I'll want in my collection for sure at some point. A perfect symbol of growing Chinese airpower. Plus it looks way cooler than the FC-1.

So we may need the F22 after all, well just in case eh.

Well, I think you know how I feel about that...

Great! Any detail in the air intake? If not, how deep is the intake? Any glaring gaps or join lines?

I wish Franklin Mint would make this one.

Dude, wish I could help. I have been lurking around the shops in Hong Kong and no word whatsoever about these newer Gaincorps.
The shopkeepers get irritated at my questioning about models they cannot get!

I have seen the FC1 around here and it's a nice model, 1/48, scale being the only reason I haven't got it.
No 1/72 FC1, J10 (neither scale) in my radar... sorry, and I am quite pissed-off at this embarrassing situation!

the join lines are ok for ME, as is the (not very deep) intake...

But you need to have a look by yourself.

I am currently taking "argentic" pictures of my collection. When numerised, they could be displayed on the forum...

I just received the FC-1. Join lines are OK for me too. I wish the intake were deeper or had some turbine/compressor detail, but acceptable.

When you compare the two models, which do you like best and why? How do the join lines and intakes compare or contrast with each other?
