Niknak Posted May 10, 2018 Share Posted May 10, 2018 Great work, I think the rafale is one of the best looking modern military jets. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark4700 Posted May 11, 2018 Share Posted May 11, 2018 Very nicely done. Don’t see so many of these for some reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blaza Posted May 12, 2018 Author Share Posted May 12, 2018 Thank you guys! This is old Italeri mold from '93 repacked by Revell. There is also a Hobby Boss one in 1/72 with much better details but as reported by few reviewers with dimensional issues (I don't have that kit so I can not confirm this).

The HobbyBoss kit is undersized as I remember seeing pictures of a modeler who compared both the kits together. I really, really, really wish Revell would downsize their fantastic 1/48 Rafale M down to 1/72 scale. I've been wanting to build one ever since I saw this inspirational video: But I don't want Italeri (or Revell re-boxed) kit with the raised panel lines or HobbyBoss's undersized one. I'd rather have a new tool one. Edited May 12, 2018 by Jackman 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've just watched your video and saw Super Étendard flying along so my next post will be Academy Super-Étendard in 1/72. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vultures1 Posted May 12, 2018 Share Posted May 12, 2018 That's a superb Rafale - well done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smudge Posted May 12, 2018 Share Posted May 12, 2018 Very nice model, I like the special scheme decals. I enjoyed the video too, thank's Jackman. I have the Hobbyboss kits in the stash. I didn't know about the dimension issues, I don't believe any concerns were raised at the time the was kit released? I will have to dig them out and have a look. Very attractive aeroplane, saw one at Yeovilton Air Day a few years back, lovely. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
