Rafale B French Airforce - Opération Harmattan - new 6 AASM ! Revell 1/48


Recommended Posts

French Airforce Rafale B

 

1/91 Gascogne

Opération Harmattan

 

  • original Revell B model 
  • DMold seamless, full length intakes :) :) 
  • Wolfpack-d upgrade to series production standards
  • Decals: combination  of Syhart and Authentic Decals :) 
  • Wolfpak MB Mk16 Ejection seats :) :) 
  • additional parts for MICA IRs and fuselage MICA lauchers from a new M model (a current C would also do!)
  • Montex masks (for the HB kit... not too happy about them fit-wise and result wise.. probably my fault though!)

 

here she is, do not be to harsh... wanted her finished!  (AASM as an alternative loadout have to wait a bit ;) )

 

Edit: More AASM pics way below in a new post!!

Very nice indeed! Great WIP thread too, especially for highlighting all the updates you made

hi, 

 

thanks a lot!

 

yeah, I put nearly all the aftermarket available for this kit into it... spare the dropped flaps (probably will do so on a future showbird) and the CFTs that are not operational though afaik!

 

to put it short, not all is necessary, but if you wanna build and older Revell release, you need at least the update for the chaff and flare dispenser on the rear! 

 

if not nothing really is necessary, as the kit is well equipped! and of GREAT standard!

 

of course, the seamless intakes are nice, very nice, but also quite expensive and require some additional work of course. 

the Exhaust nozzles are better than Revell ones, but you have to look carefully in order to note that.

 

ejection seats are a must for my all my future Rafale builds, the kit seat are good, but wolfpak-d a lot better!

 

Revell leaves you a bit short on missiles, that means you probably need more than one kit for a full air defence loadout!!! 

 

Eduard is going to release some PE for the single seater in due course... :):):)  

 

 

 

so..

soon to put the photos with the AASM missiles I am working currently on!

Hello

 

Nice to see my AASM set on a model kit, not so often seen completed !

 

Great job!

Thanks, have not seen them elsewhere either if I remember correctly!

Just be careful, those are the fantastic though work intensive resin ones from l'Arsenal, not the more commonly available ones from Kinetic., which do not look anything like real ones at all...

 

I hope l'Arsenal will also release the modern version with additional laser guidance as well...
