PhantomBigStu Posted March 19, 2023 Share Posted March 19, 2023 (edited) Well with my entry nearly there it’s time for a second one, was going to be a mirage 2000 but changed my mind surprised no one has entered the italeri Rafale yet Edited May 16, 2023 by PhantomBigStu 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rabbit Leader Posted March 20, 2023 Share Posted March 20, 2023 Not seen that one Stu, is that an Italeri moulded kit in a Heller box? Didn’t Heller do their own Rafale or am I wrong here? Cheers and all the best.. Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PhantomBigStu Posted March 28, 2023 Author Share Posted March 28, 2023 Been having a modelling crises last few days having lost a couple of builds, the two others I'm working on putting fights and being faced with the enormity of my collection and an attempt to rearrange for efficiency and future builds not quite working out, but have made a start to this and it looks like this might be a good tonic, never built this before as I'd wrongly assumed his was pig of a kit. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wings unlevel Posted March 28, 2023 Share Posted March 28, 2023 Apparently the intakes are problematic, but on what jet kit aren’t they! Does look like it comes together very nicely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does look like it comes together very nicely. Mine seem to fit pretty good so should be easy to sand in, anyway painted the pit black and put a couple of coats on the Gull grey said to be good match for the actual celomer shade 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
