In continuing with the Israeli-involved theme of the Kfir and the Lavi, put the J-10 into service with any Latin American nation that flew the Kfir.
My vote is Equador.

Oooo....Sth American J-10s. I like!! Maybe Venezuela or Bolivia or even Peru?

There was an article in Popular Mechanics back in the 90s about the Rockwell X-31. There was a bit of speculative fiction at the beginning about Navy F-24s using the X-31's thrust-vectoring. The first time I saw the Trumpeter J-10 kit, that's all I could think about. The J-10 is a bit bigger than the X-31, but that's just what you'd expect from a matured design, right. I'm thinking Navy VFA markings over low-vis grays, or maybe a CONA retro scheme.

Now that it an interesting idea. Would love to see it.

Now two attempts to build non canard J-10:

Oooh, that's nice! 8) Jolly good work, ysi! :smiley: The J-10's slightly hunchbacked look works really well with this.

Hmmm...images don't appear to be showing for me. ::)

Chengdu once considered using the WP-15 turbojet, which is a locally-refitted Tumansky R-29-300 engine, on J-10 prototypes.
'Just figured that this seems like some sort of a parallel to the F-16/79......
-
On the basis Israel sold warplanes to Argentina and they need a replacement for their Scooters - well just a thought.
