Rafale, a french one this time :-)


Recommended Posts

Hello friends

This is my latest work, one of the most (if not the most) beautiful French aircraft hever! J

This is the Hobby Boss kit, with all the good and bad things that we know that we are goint go find when we open the box, in this case they indicate the Gunze 315 color to the fuselage, and as you can check that is wrong (well i saw hundreds of pictures and didn’t saw any with that color), so i went to the internet and with the Gunze 308 as base i made my own color. Some (very) putty is needed to correct some areas (if you guys want i can post some pictures of that latter, just let me know please) the refueling prob is wrong... not the correct shape and the mos annoying thing is the fact of Hobby Boss didn’t include clear parts for the wings light... L

In the end with a some work we receive a very nice Rafale on the shelf. I love this one, and i will build other one for sure.

I hope you like it

Thank you for looking.

Beautiful example of this cracking little plane. What a great finish you acheived as well, really captured the weathering superbly. Another excellent model Vitor.

Great job! I admire your paint jobs!

Too bad the roundels are a bit off register... But other then that... I can only wish I can achieve such a paint job some day.... :)
