Chinese Late model J7

[lazboy 1]

Has anyone as yet thought about modelling this late model Chinese J7 variant with a double delta wing planform that is supposidly in use with the PLA?

I've never seen that before. I'm guessing lower roll rate but higher weights and ceiling and longer ranges possible.

I've been seeing schematics of this double delta for years but this is the first actial photo I've seen. Doesn't it help produce higher lift at lower speeds?

Thanks for the link to the additional technical information I am even more intrigued now that it is apparently serving with the Pakistani Air Force (PAF) under the designation F-7PG. I shall have to search the internet for any specific references to the F-7PG in Pakistani Air Force service.

J-7E is the chinese name. Its said, that this bird can hold itself very well against Su-27 (J-11) in dogfight.
