Well after many false starts I am building my first Model in around 20+ years. It is a Hobbyboss Rafale M and probably an easyish kit to build but looks like it could need a fair bit of filling. I have completed the cockpit area and tomorrow will be getting the 2 halves of the fusealage together. I prob went a bit overboard on dry brushing the seat but I guess it looks used

Thanks for the replys and links guys ... I think from the pics they look grey so think I will just stick with that. They are pretty small so not as open and viewable as other planes.

I am currently building a 1/48 Rafale and was wondering what colour the gear bays are supposed to be? I think it is either white or aluminium. Any help greatly appreciated Thanks

Great Build, Really like that one!!

Excellent work. Stunning example of a lovely aircraft!

Super builds - Congrats! Like the go fast bases as well

Wow that is a beautiful build Congrats!!!!!!!

Very nice build and paint! I have a GWH in the stash if I ever finish my current project I will have to get it out ... such a lovely looking aircraft.

That is spectacular congrats!

Stunning great work!

Thanks Andy Next question I have is the tracks are as someone said a bit like rubber bands so if looking for replacement items where and what should i go for? I have seen some tamiya ones are they any good or are there other options. Tamiya 1/35 Panther Type G Track Links # 35171 Sorry for all the questions

Geting well into the build part as off this week so need to think of some paints to order for this tank. The kit states Tamiya colors XF60 Dark Yellow , XF-64 Red Brown and XF-61 Dark Green for the camouflage.....is this a correct and is there a better combination using either Vallejo or Lifecolor paints?

Picked this up today in Tunbridge Wells ..... Thanks for the info guys .... hopefully can knock something decent out after a long time away.

Thanks guys will see if the local modelshop has a Tamiya kit, if not will order online today.

Hi Have not built anything in a couple of years and looking to dig out the airbrush and tools and get busy again. I am thinking of a Panther kit but with so much choice not sure what one to get. Not looking for something too involved, more a nice medium challenge kit to start up again. Looking about online these seem to be my choices: Dragon 1/35 Sd.Kfz.171 Panther G w/Zimmerit '39-'45 Series # 6384 Tamiya 1/35 Panther G w/Steel Wheels # 35174 Tamiya 1/35 Panther G Late Version # 35176 Dragon 1/35 Sd.Kfz.171 Panther A early type Italy 1943/44 # 6160 Dragon - Sd.Kfz.171 Panther A Late Production - Scale 1:35 6358 Any help and advice greatly appreciated....... Can't wait to get building again .... been too long
