Let me present to you 1/48 Revell Rafale B Tiger meet
Posted by chameleon 2009 on Friday, March 20, 2015 11:51 AM

The Dassault Rafale (French pronunciation: ​[ʁafal], squall)[5] is a French twin-engine, canard delta-wing, multirole fighter aircraft designed and built by Dassault Aviation. Equipped with a wide range of weapons, the Rafale is intended to perform air supremacy, interdiction, aerial reconnaissance, and nuclear strike missions.

This is the first Revell kit I have built, and i have to say I was pretty impressed, nice detail all over, fit was really good, and plenty of armament options, the only aftermarket was the Wolfpack ejector seats which are amazing, ohh and plenty of patience, if we can call patience aftermarket, the tiger scheme is all hand painted,as there are no decals for this in 1/48, it was challenging and I stripped it completely down twice as I wasn't happy with the first results, any way enjoy.

Tamiya paints and AKA used and I used 3 airbrushes Harder & steenbeck infinity and the evolution and my trusted Neo for Iwata TRN2 side feed pistol trigger airbrush for the main flood colours

WOW, if you'd told me you used decals for the 'Tiger Meet' scheme I'd be really impressed but you painted it on!?! I think my jaw just hit the floor, stupendous job!!!

That is one of the coolest paint jobs I've ever seen.  I can't believe the eye on the tail!
