Building the 1/48 Scale Trumpeter J-20 Mighty Dragon - “Faigen” Stealth Fighter

In this 40th model build video, we feature the Chinese J-20 “Mighty Dragon” Stealth Fighter with special “Beast Mode” additions manufactured by Trumpeter, Kit #05821. This jet is also code named “Faigen” by NATO. Much of this Eastern jet’s appearance is very reminiscent of United States stealth fighters, namely the F-35 Lightning II and the F-22 Raptor in particular.
