ADA-001, ADA's 1st baby
It is very basic, they could have shown EOTS, IRST, DAS. But something is better than nothing.
Nose appears to be too long, or may be it is camera angle effect.
The engines are exposed a lot. The rudder's trailing edge could have been diamond or cranked-arrow/lambda shaped; The stab/elevator could be moved aft.
The flaps & aelerons actuator bumps need to be more flat & blended.
Inbuilt ladder not required, will increase RCS.
Perhaps a CCM can fit in SWB.

Kind of Had my hopes up when they said it was 1:1 scale model. This is just some lazy work.

It's a mock up & as mock ups go it's as good or as bad as one can expect. In all fairness they didn't announce a static display. That'd be the real thing which won't take to the skies.

I want to see a top view of this thing. Also a proper frontal view from appropriate height with that canopy cover off.

Figured it out @Operatorr @high_IQ_bharatiya_sainik

May be under budget they applied sarso tel or nariyal tel

 

[Spacemarine]

its a good effort to put up a mock up and keep in mind the model is based on the budget and team did a pretty good job with money and time in hand …

Sidebays ?

Most probably not.
In case of a side bay the serration would be something like...

I'd guess it's just some intern's creativity

This was from 2015. Back then the biggest criticism of su57 was its exposed fan blades. Well.....looks like russians figured that out


They did pretty good job shielding the fan blades

Na, see how the tail rudders extend behind engines in this model, but in mockup they end before engine.

Maybe just shoddy PSU job, or think se samajh nahi aa rahe camera angle pe

An alleged RF blocker is in front of fan, but the blocker is visible.


In F-22 & F-35 also there are blockers but also hidden by serpentine & Y-duct, that's 1 step more.

Na, it's poorly designed mockup.
