Although I am
pre-dominantly a RAF type of modeller, I couldn't resist the new Model Alliance
Tiger meet decals for the Rafale B. I've had the Italeri kit knocking around in
my stash for ages, so I sat down over Christmas and actually finished a model
for once! I kept things simple, so the kit is OOB apart from Tamiya tape seat
straps to dress up the ejection seats. Oddly enough, photos off the internet show
the straps and cushions in an appropriately (considering it's a French aeroplane) claret
purple colour - added a bit of colour in any case. Aside from that, I used the
Tamiya F36320 spraycan as recommended in the decal instructions - looked
about right to me!
Anyway, this is the
first time I have submitted anything to ARC, and in the process have discovered
how difficult it is to take even half-decent photos, even with the good advice
on this site. Now I've actually done it, I hope to submit my latest project (
1/48th Typhoon F2 and Tornado F3) in the near future, and see if Steve will put
that up! I am constantly amazed at the superb quality of the models that other
people put up, and although I can't match that level of work, I hope you enjoy
my first submission to a site that has given me great enjoyment for many
years.
