Rafale B - 1:72 Scale Model

Included is a sheet of decals and a set of instructions with which you can customise the aircraft with a selection of French Naval Aviation registration numbers and wing and squadron insignia. This new decal sheet allows you to customise your model in the colours of all the units in which the Rafale B is currently deployed. The Rafale omnirole combat aircraft is produced in single-seat and two-seat versions. Different models are made for the Air Force and Navy, although 90% of the components are shared. The Rafale B is the two-seat version for the Air Force, with capabilities that enable it to perform all types of missions (omnirole). With a 9,500 kg external payload and multipurpose weapons system, the Rafale B can carry out a broad range of different missions that previously required the use of specialist aircraft: air superiority and air defence, air support, long-range strikes, aerial reconnaissance, anti-shipping strikes, nuclear deterrence, etc. In service with the French Air Force since 2006, the Rafale has proved itself in combat in Afghanistan (Operation Enduring Freedom), Libya (Operation Harmattan) and more recently in the fight against terrorism in the Sahel (Operation Serval), as well as in Iraq and Syria from Jordan and the United Arab Emirates (Operation Chammal). The Rafale has also been exported to Egypt, Qatar and India.
