Revell 1:48 Rafale M
Saw a news article a few months ago that India would buy Rafale M as their new naval fighter. Had a Caracal foreign users decal set so decided to use the Indian markings with added "Navy" from my extras. I find the Rafale to be the most beautiful of the modern jets (Typhoon is my number two). Seems like designers decided "no reason why we can't make it stunning as well as useful"! The kit is a joy to build and recommend highly. The only caveat would be the see through intakes, but c'est la vie!
Excellent Rafale and I love those markings, Chris!

Very nice result, Chris @champagnecrc
The painting and weathering turned out really good.
Nice work, Chris. Rafale is my favorite modern plane too.
Think that maybe their designers were making up for these?

Excellent model. Now, you must do a Pakistani Chengdu J-10 for a comparison.
Hmmmm. Do have one in the stash. Good idea!
Fantastic build.
I have to agree about the pleasing lines of the Rafale! Yours is a stunner - well done!
