Isn't it strange that there is a JF-17 model, and that also a v big one, on a side table in post 4 picture. It would have made sense if it was Pakistan and we had displayed our plane but why would Sri Lankans do it?

'Sri Lankan' thanks for the pics...

It's a JF-17/FC-1 model without any doubt and no where I indicated I mind Sri Lankans putting JF-17s model or purchasing the AC, on the contrary I will be v much delighted.

I think this pic was taken in Pakistan (I could be wrong) because I do think it will be odd for Srilankans to have a JF-17 model displayed at this point of time where they have no JF-17 or FC1 in their inventory. So far they have only shown interest in it, no deal has been materialized yet. Also it will take a long time before any other AF inducts it. First, we have to fulfill our own requirement.
