  1. Hi dear folks, this is my recently finished Revell's 1/48 scale Rafale C. IMO one of the prettiest combat aircraft ever made and it definitely fulfills Marcel Dassault's credo, who famously once said - "Ce qui est beau vole bien" - If it is beautiful, it will fly well. It's an older kit but it checks out. It's a bit basic at times but only in areas which are barely visible anyway, like the open air intakes. They are deep enough to look good but if you look straight into them, you will see the light coming in through the gear bays. Everything else is neat. The panel lines are very fine and considering the kit is more than 20 years old, I had no problems with flash or any warped or damaged parts or forms. The kit also nails the shape of the forward fuselage which is crucial to the planes good looks! Had an absolute blast building it. The fitment is superb, the only problem I had was the refueling probe, which ended a bit askew 😅 It was primed as usual with Tamiya grey primer, pre shaded with darker grey and finished using mostly Vallejo and Tamiya colors and AMMO washes. Although I like filthy and well used planes I went easy on the weathering this time as the real Rafales look remarkably clean. The decals are sharp but are printed on a rather thick film and did not respond that well to decal softener but with a little more patience they were still pretty easy to handle. The whole kit was sealed with Tamiya semi gloss varnish. A nice and easy kit that's great to build and looks awesome quite quickly - a big Thanks for watching. Hope you like it and I wish you a great remainder of this weekend!
  2. Ok silly me has decided to build another on for this GB, it wasn’t planned but I will have some time and it’ll help reduce the stash. Ok I got this at my clubs yearly auction last year. That stupid box was the first to go and the sprue was chopped up to fit into a smaller and sensible box, so I had to source another box photo! It’s actually not a bad looking model….especially for the prise I paid $10. Ok me being me some things needed to be replaced, exhausts and wheels. Being that there’s not a lot of difference between the C & M models of the Rafale I can use the PE sets from the C model. The Revell cockpit decals are rubbish. I wasn’t too impressed with the plain grey scheme and as luck would have it, Syhart do a nice set of Tiger Meet decals for her, so that’s the scheme I’ll do. The one issue with doing this scheme is the centre drop tank fitted to this aircraft was the smaller 1250L one, the model only comes with the 2000L tank. But as luck would have it I just happen to have a Rafale C in the stash which has 3 of them in it! It should be a straightforward build the only problem area in the intakes…there’s no intake trunk provided just a gaping hole into the fuselage, so I may just blank it off or make intake covers.
  3. Dassault Rafale M 1/72 - Revell 04892 OOB build with some minor fixes. Vallejo acrylics. This is my first post, hope you like it, feedback and criticism is always welcome!
