Hobby Boss 80318 1/48 Rafale C: Kit Overview for Builders

The Hobby Boss 80318 1/48 scale Rafale C model captures the jet's compact delta planform and twin-engine stance in moulded plastic parts. This Hobby Boss 80318 kit places emphasis on scale proportion and surface detail suitable for display builds.

Aircraft Context and Design Highlights

The Dassault Rafale C is engineered as a multirole combat aircraft capable of diverse missions. The kit mirrors the aircraft's key visual traits including intakes, canards where applicable, and wing geometry so modellers can appreciate the Rafale's engineering cues.

Construction Advice and Finish Suggestions

Careful gluing and alignment will produce the best results, especially in the cockpit area and undercarriage. Finishing with subtle weathering and accurate paint shades will increase realism and make the model stand out in a collection.

Specifications

  • Scale: 1/48
  • Material: High-quality plastic
  • Assembly: Requires glue
  • Paint: Not included, recommended for enhanced realism
The cockpit has a good level of detail for a 1/48 kit, with instrument panels and seating that benefit from careful painting and possibly decal gauges for extra realism.
With the landing gear assembled, the Hobby Boss 80318 will display on its wheels. For dynamic display poses, a 1/48 support stand can be used after modifying the lower fuselage mount.
Take care with the nose-to-fuselage joins and the wing root seams. Dry-fitting parts first and using clamps during glue cure will help preserve panel alignment.
