Cant wait to see it in Indian colours
I prefer to see FGFA prototypes flying, no matter which color they have.

Even if they stay how will it effect the capability of the aircraft ?2nd. There are still antennas on the front section of the plane. Are they there to stay or still instrumentation. The seem like they are there to stay.
So what if there's a gap ? It has no effect on the capability of T50. T50 can carry more weapons than F22 and F35. Yeah its true this gives the room to increase the weapon payload.3rd (and by far the most worrying in my eyes) The weapons bays have a very prominent gap between the two doors are the doors mock doors.. because that gap is a bit ... not good.

I am happy you didn't mentioned 2d TVC nozzle. I don't get it, why people think 2d is necessary for a stealth aircraft. Russians have actually selected 3d tvc nozzle and rejected 2d nozzle.

4th. i would like to know if the rear lower end of the nacelles would be shaped or not. I am more interested to see why if not..
any thoughts ?
Sensors are for testing, each prototype has seen a gradual reduction in antennas.
It's just speculation but by looking at the aircraft they incorporated sawtoothing in every area except the rear landing gear bays which leads me to beleive that the current configuration is temporary. And i say this not just because of the lack of sawtoothing in the landing gear bays but because the final engine configuration including nozzles is yet to be finalized.
No it does not...both of the points you mentioned affect the LO of the plane.
Well then you don't know the basic of T50. T50 is banking on this point that stealth aircrafts like F22 and F35 will finish their weapons soon while t50 will have advantage over them at that time.also currently we don't know if it is carrying more weapons, last i heard it was 2+2 mr an 2 sr

ptldM3, have you any thoughts on the gap in the weapons bays?

The question however is, are these the final weapon bays or also just stop gaps for the test flights? The reason why I say this is, while we see the 3rd prototype flying, we didn't see or heared anything about testing any of the weapon bays during the flights (but someone correct me if I missed it). Imo that's strange, since Sukhoi is testing this on the Su 47 for a long time:
