replicant Posted October 10, 2017 Share Posted October 10, 2017 ....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! 23 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomthounaojam Posted October 10, 2017 Share Posted October 10, 2017 I built this kits few month ago, however, didn't use the decal instead made Indian Air Force all grey. Great rendition of the kit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Valkyrie Posted October 10, 2017 Share Posted October 10, 2017 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 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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....

alex Posted October 11, 2017 Share Posted October 11, 2017 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. https://www.scalemates.com/profiles/mate.php?id=11437&p=albums&album=29294 Alex 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
