1/48 Revell Rafale M


Recommended Posts

Hello all,

 

Here is my recently completed 1/48 Revell Rafale M - the build thread is here

 

Extras used included a Wolfpack ejection seat, Wolfpack update set, Renaissance MICA IR missiles and SCALP (Storm Shadow) missiles from a Revell Eurofighter Typhoon kit. I know the load out is not 100% correct for a carrier based Rafale, but I know that several of these jets were/are deployed to Jordan for operations over Iraq/Syria so that's what i'm going for. The Revell kit is very nice indeed.

One of the prettiest jets that I have ever seen. We should have bought the carrier version for our new white elephant.

 

I have to agree that it looks right. Want to build a few more now :lol:

Lovely Rafale build , I am especially fond of the navy variant as it seems to have a certain something about it.

 

Due to some confusion on a photo-op beside the runway caravan at Lossiemouth which left me without ear protection I discovered it is perhaps one of the most painfully noisy aircraft I have come across even when just idling , got some smashing photos though !!

I can only agree so much! One of the genuine beauties of modern aviation. 

You did her justice DaveJL

Nice looking build, painted very nicely. I am not familiar with this kit but it looks like the panel lines are very thick?

The panel lines are fairly well detailed and didn't appear to thick to me.

Very cool, saw a couple of these display at Yeovilton a couple of years back, very impressive piece of kit!

Nice kit, looks really mean with the load! As you wrote, it's correct, Rafale M use only one scalp on the centerline, to avoid load imbalance in case one doesn't launch. But it looks better this way! :D
