DaveJL Posted May 6, 2018 Share Posted May 6, 2018 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. Thanks for looking. Dave 38 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve27752 Posted May 6, 2018 Share Posted May 6, 2018 One of the prettiest jets that I have ever seen. We should have bought the carrier version for our new white elephant. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Des Posted May 6, 2018 Share Posted May 6, 2018 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 !!

pipthepilot Posted May 8, 2018 Share Posted May 8, 2018 Nice looking build, painted very nicely. I am not familiar with this kit but it looks like the panel lines are very thick? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

djos Posted May 9, 2018 Share Posted May 9, 2018 Very nice Rafale. Looks as very mean machine with this load. Great build Regards Djordje Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alex Posted May 10, 2018 Share Posted May 10, 2018 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!
