Recommended Posts

replying to my own posts, but still an update!

 

the necessary ordnance for the triple ejector racks:

 

AASM de l'Arsenal

 

looking very nice (ompared to the mishappen Skunkworks/ Kinetic offering :( ) 

but a bit labour intensive I have to say!!!

20180217_212951_1

8 fins per bomb to align, bu hardly any ceanup!

 

50% done....

An interesting neat build to follow - those DMold intakes really look good - inspiring me to do an Aeronavale Rafale one day

CJP

oh thanks!

 

a bit on the slow side, I hope you are not in a hurry!

 

the intakes are really great to use, 

I incidentally ordered another set for an M as well!

Very nice work with the Rafale so far! Very nice with seamless intakes and all the other resin stuff! :)

some overdue update... still not close to being finished...

 

decided to invest into some resin Rafale MB MK16  seats from Wolfpack-d  hard to get, nearly nowhere available!

comparison with the not bad a t all kit ones:

20180807_203409_1

actually some PE belts would have been sufficient.... but there are non!  EDUARD!!!

 

20180807_203537_120180807_203819_1

a bit hard to photograph , all black in black.. with or without flash.. should use a real camera  :(

 

 

more soon!

 

looking forward to finish her soon! even more so as Revell just released the single seater!!!!  :)

HI exdraken - the Rafael is a really neat looking aircraft and your model is really doing it justice - nice to see someone using those Dmould resin parts in a build too - who makes the resin EJ seats you have used?

Hi, thanks!

I immediately bought a second d-mold intake set for a Cmodel when I noted how great the set is!

 

Seats are from Wolfpack,

- O.K - A visit to TELFORD may be ? Just in case, I will be in alien corner...

- My work on the Pak-Fa is going on but I stop posting on W.I.P , too much silence around it....

Telford definitely would be a great experience.... I fear family commitments would not allow ;)

 

please do post some updates on the Pak-Fa from time to time.... definitely interested! but you are probably right that too much detail work on this special subject is not appreciated enough here unfortunately....  :(

 

 

as promised, some decal work yesterday night! 

 

 

20181031_234806_1

 

20181031_234907_1

 

mostly Syhart decals with the one or other Autentic decal  in between. The anti slip walkways are such decals... was too lazy to mask.... next time!  the are a bit too light now, but some post shading will help ;)

 

Some of the tiny grey stencils were omitted for being nearly invisible on my paint work.... ;)

 

not finished yet, as pylons, weapons, etc are still missing .... way too many small decals for one night shift! :D

Scalps are from Revell with Syhart decals. which are great but a bit many!

Enjoyed reading through your build 👍

Ive built the M and have a few other Rafales in the to do pile ( 8 last count , I am a bad man !)

Good to see the slipway markings added ...ive seen lots of builds without them .

Look forward to seeing the RFI photos :coolio:
