Presenting the new 1/48 Rafale ‘C’ version from Revell of Germany. My oh my, time really does fly. Back in 2011 I posted an entry with the built Rafale ‘B’ also from Revell of Germany Tiger meet. It was a very good build but the decals left a little bit to be desired. This new version comes in a color scheme I like very much and very reminiscent to our Arctic Aggressors F-16s.
The Dassault Rafale (French pronunciation: [ʁafal], literally meaning “gust of wind”, and “burst of fire” in a more military sense) 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, ground support, in-depth strike, anti-ship strike and nuclear deterrence missions. The Rafale is referred to as an “omnirole” aircraft by Dassault.
A replica model of the Rafale C, a light and agile multi-purpose fighter aircraft of the Armée de l’air which was successfully deployed in Afghanistan and Libya.
