First pure all-Jap fighter in 75 years.

I was curious about the blurring on nose gear. S'pose it is
just some number... but on a prototype? Comments?




I suspect its to cover the detail of the "saw tooth" shape of the edge of
the gear doors, as was done on the F-117 & B-2
( straight line too detectable on radar.)

other images also blurred , and including the intake details.
