we have one prototype frame certified for RD-33 when O G F404 deal was hanging by a thread, they even ground tested it and certified its inlets for that engine, it's now catching dust in HAL bangalore's museum
(either KH-2001 or KH-2002)
so, some work was already done in that regard, they can resume it with all modern things in mind, it's time that RD-33 ground tested + air inlets certified airframe to be returned to HAL guys

it seems this one, KH-2001, from google maps, located at HAL heritage museum in Bangalore
