Antb Posted July 2, 2019 Share Posted July 2, 2019 (edited) Evening chaps I don't build jets, apparently, but I've recently been inspired to build my first ever modern jet. That's the first first. The second first is this is my first build using an airbrush. I've learned so much during the course of this build and there are some mistakes but I can honestly say this is the best build over ever completes. It was so much fun and I'm super proud of this one. I've ordered the C version to accompany this one, which won't be my last rafale! Painted with vallejo model air, tamiya, Mr surfacer 1000 used as a primer and a dark dirt flory wash. There's loads of photos. As always, any comments or feedback would be great! Edited July 2, 2019 by Antb 23 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lightningboy2000 Posted July 2, 2019 Share Posted July 2, 2019 Superb work on your first Rafale with your first airbrush job! Not bad paints to work with either in my opinion. Excellent job! Martin 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avgas Posted July 2, 2019 Share Posted July 2, 2019 You picked a good kit for your first jet - one of my favourites because it goes together well. You've done a fantastic job on it, looks great! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
