About product

Dassault Rafale C, 1:48 - a Revell kit

An injection-molded plastic kit of the French Dassault Rafale in the C version in 1:48 scale from Revell. It is a rebox - Revell is issuing an older tooling here, whose origins go back to the turn of the millennium and which has appeared over time in several Rafale versions. According to the manufacturer the box holds over two hundred parts: a split fuselage with integral cockpit and wheel wells, a separate spine and fin, a well worked-out cockpit with an ejection seat, a detailed landing gear, engine nozzles, a jamming pod, drop tanks and a rich fit of armament - laser-guided bombs, air-to-air missiles and air-launched missiles. The decals offer two schemes of French Air Force machines, including a striking colorful tiger scheme, together with an extensive sheet of technical stenciling for the airframe and the stores.

The real subject

The Rafale is a modern French multirole fighter that handles air combat, attacks on ground targets and reconnaissance in a single sortie. Its aerodynamic shape is unmistakable: a delta wing combined with foreplanes (canards) close to the cockpit. That pair of surfaces gives the aircraft high agility and a short takeoff and landing, because the canard directs the airflow onto the wing and holds lift even at high angles of attack. The C version is the single-seat land-based one for the French Air Force - and beware of the confusion: the Rafale B is the two-seat land-based version and the Rafale M is the carrier version for aircraft carriers, with strengthened landing gear and an arrestor hook. What you are building is therefore a single-seat machine from a land base, not a carrier aircraft.

Building and painting tips

Glue with thin cement for plastic, and finish and paint the cockpit and the wells before you close the fuselage. The air intakes do not have full ducts - blacken the inside so that the view into them does not look empty. Apply primer before painting; spray the gray Rafale camouflage with an airbrush and play with a fine shading of the individual panels. With the tiger scheme it pays to coat the surface with gloss varnish, settle the decals with a decal softener and finally unify the surface with a satin or matte coat. It is practical to paint the underwing stores separately and attach them at the end.

Who the model is for

  • For enthusiasts of modern European combat aircraft
  • For modelers who want a striking colorful scheme as well as the standard gray
  • For builders with basic experience of multipart kits in 1:48
  • For collectors of present-day fighters in a single scale

The model is supplied unassembled and unpainted. Glue, paints and accessories are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.

FAQ

The C version is the single-seat land-based one for the French Air Force, the B version is the two-seat land-based one and the M version is the carrier one for aircraft carriers. This kit represents the single-seat Rafale C.

It is a rebox - in this box Revell is issuing an older tooling whose origins go back to the turn of the millennium and which has appeared in several Rafale versions over time. That does not stand in the way of quality, only do not expect the newest tooling technology.

The canards ahead of the wing direct the airflow onto the delta wing, thanks to which the aircraft holds lift even at high angles of attack. The result is high agility and the ability to take off and land on a short runway.
