TR Air-Force TF-X KAAN Fighter Jet

Finally.

Btw does the white paint, primer or final paint?

It's a bloody prototype, first proper one, how could it be the "final paint"?

Didnt the previous prototype use yelowish primer paint.

The final coating should be blue grey antracit ish,so its not final paint.

Ulan Inglish brekfist,be nice and answer the damn question in a proper way.
We are not all from Oxiford or Kammbridge.

I am just curious, usually before final painting the base coating is either yellowish or greenish (based on the chemical composition).

Greenish:

Yellowish:

+gray

So KAAN with white base coating is rather unique.

Its not exactly white,its yellowish white.
Probably indigenous,maybe something new.

It was white

Isn't this the composite material's own color?

Colour can be literally anything. Depends on the layup fibers/matrix dye...one or both can be hot pink if you want it....but that kind of thing would look unprofessional and probably needs some extra calibration when testing EO/IR signatures without RAM application etc.

Have Blue (nighthawk) was something close to white as well iirc before they slapped some camo on it too. It went fully jet black lot later.

For an example, KF21 bulkhead.

KF21 use yellowish base coating.

I guess some of the "yellow" and "chrome-free" primers end up looking whitish or some kind of white beige (also depending on the final topcoat layer that might not be perfectly colourless/transparent).

I'd like to clarify my previous response that I was treating the underlying composite and epoxy primer as one unit visually....epoxy primer would likely have a different colour (to composite matrix) to check for even coating etc.

In the kaan video, you can actually see a few shades different in certain parts (engine area, cockpit area, wing body) depending on the application given to those parts relative to most of the body.

If Kaan P0 were in the position of P1,
1. The intake position would not match.
2. The underside of the intake would be visible. The angle of the intake also appears to have changed.
3. It appears that, as the engine spacing has been increased, the spacing between the vertical stabilisers has also been increased. At the same time, the shape of the rear array base between the engines has changed slightly.
4. Horizontal stabiliser shape.
