Hi guys, here's my reconstruction of it. I believe it is likely there are small movable horizontal planes flanking the nozzle, possibly for thrust entrainment, and it is possible this aircraft may not have TVC nozzle. I also believe the tips of the LERX chines have a blunt chisel planform much like the F-35's inlet-strake relationship. My inspection of the desktop model supports the inlet lip terminating at the root of the chine, not at the outboard edge. I believe that the recent sideview reveal was taken at a carefully chosen angle where the end of the chine happens to be aligned with the intake lip in order to obscure this issue.[ATTACH]660985[/ATTACH]
