Interesting artists rendering, seems to use conformal fuel tanks on the ESSS fairings. Or it’s a cruddy picture they threw together. Also depicts no infrared suppression on the exhaust, great for maintenance and less drag, but probably not realistic for a combat aircraft.

Also seems to indicate the cabin seating will contain the old crew chief/gunner seats, which are terrible, instead of the rotating gunners seat, which is also made by Martin Baker.

Oh well, in the words of Monty Python: “It’s only a model…”

👍 on the 701D engines though!
