Model of plastic RAFALE C airplane

Model

The 1/144 scale Rafale C model allows you to replicate one of the most iconic combat aircraft in the French military aviation.

Designed and developed by Dassault Aviation, the Dassault Rafale is a twin-engine delta-wing multirole fighter aircraft capable of performing a wide range of operational missions.

The Rafale was developed to replace several aircraft used by the French forces, including the SEPECAT Jaguar of the Air Force and the F-8 Crusader of the Navy. The Rafale program began in the 1980s, and the demonstrator made its first flight on July 4, 1986.

The first production Rafale made its first flight on December 4, 1998 before being delivered to the French Air Force.

The Rafale family consists of three main versions:

• Rafale C, single-seat version for the Air Force

• Rafale B, two-seat version

• Rafale M, naval version for the Navy

This model represents the Rafale C, a single-seat aircraft designed for air superiority, ground attack, reconnaissance, or strategic strike missions. Thanks to its versatility and advanced technologies, the Rafale is now considered one of the most capable combat aircraft of its generation.

A Modern Aircraft Model at 1/144 Scale

This 1/144 scale Rafale C model is ideal for enthusiasts of aeronautical modeling and modern military aircraft models. Despite its compact size, it offers a good level of detail and faithfully reproduces the distinctive lines of the Rafale with its delta wings and canard fins.

The kit includes over 50 parts spread across several sprues. The finely engraved structural lines on the wings and fuselage allow for a realistic finish once the model is assembled and painted.

The canopy and windshield are provided as a transparent piece to faithfully replicate the Rafale's cockpit.

Once assembled, the model measures approximately 106.5 mm in length by 71.5 mm in wingspan, making it easy to integrate into a collection of modern fighter aircraft models.
