Say dosent that jet look clean! I scrubbed the top of that thing for hours for this picture.
BTW the gun just peeks out the front of the Rt conformal. There is also a tunnel of sorts through the tank with a vent door to corrospond to the gun vent door. -

Sorry i got mixed up (been working f-22s too long) the gun stuck out the front of the Lt conformal. Looks like they airbrushed it out. This particular jet didnt have a gun so there was a large orange cover over the port. I guess Lockheed didn't want it in their promo pics.
