Rafale B Hobby Boss 1:72


Recommended Posts

....and now for something completely different!

 

The Eye of the Tiger

 

This small rendition of the french superjet is by far the newest and best kit in 1:72.

But there are surprisingly many faults and the jet is partly undersized. That did hurt and i spent 130 hrs on that. It was in ModellFan 2016/05.

 

But everytime i look at, it i get some Tiger in my Tank!

Inspiring, great details too. I’m in the middle of the Revell Rafale M, what colour did you use for the grey? Thanks for sharing 

 It took a while to determine the color, the instructions are commonly way off. The french jets have their own Celomer colors. Flightline pics in comparison with other jets showed a dark, neutral  gray (between FS 36251 aggressor gray and FS 36231 dark gull gray).

Most similar to RAL 7042 Verkehrsgrau A, i used Revell 32143 Mittelgrau/Medium Grey adding 15% white for the scale

 

The easy thing is, all operational Rafis have the same color, B, C, M....

Just us a greyish grey! They tend to attract dirt rather quickly, and I couldn't find two similar looking rafals (unless just out of the paintshop). Even worse, if you find a Rafale with touched up paint, it shows clearly that the colour changes fast. I used revell Aqua light grey, and it looked ok for me.

That is a cracking build, yes that’s a good grey! I now have a stash of Rafale Ms 1/48, 1/72, 1/44 but now seeing yours I want to do all the versions
