:p not perfect but pretty close to 1:1 alignment when i overlay the images, obviously the elephant in the room here is intake visibility, i don't have any answer for this other than they probably just hid it behind the vapor cone on purpose. i can't move this intake any further back, it's already pushed pretty far. anywho

It is interesting, but I wonder why they chose MD as the speculative manufacturer instead of Boeing? As an aerospace artist myself, this rendering is pretty good.
I'm also not sure, realised it only after posting it here. Maybe it's an alternate history sort of thing ?
 
Hello friends,
I sometimes try to create 1/72 or 1/200 models as scratchbuilt before the final version is out in the world

This is how I created a B 21 Raider 1/200 and H20 some time ago.

I also "sculpted" a Tempest II

I've been thinking about the F47 for a long time now, .....
I'm very happy about your visualizations

But I heard that the prototype is supposed to take off in 2028
I don't understand this - that they could keep the preview (it's a model)
until the last moment?
Or is the year 2028 fiction?

Thanks for your opinion martin from Czech Rep

The B-21 was rolled out in December 2022 with first flight in November 2023, so I don't think 2027 (or even 2028) is unreasonable for the F-47 roll out.
 
Same with the B-2 (1988 rollout, 1989 first flight), while the nighthawk and quite a few demonstrators (like the YF-118G) flew for some time before officially going public.
