The kit comes with MB Mk.16F, which is wrong if you wanted to replicate the true Rafale C01. I have to look for seat replacement in the meantime.

Trying to give the the monitor display with plasticard sprayed in clear green. Just to make it a little more lively.

![Album image #8 Album image #8](/albums/img/8/3/8/1691838-133058-95-720.jpg)

![Album image #10 Album image #10](/albums/img/1/9/6/1696196-133058-37-720.jpg)
small details painted, I decided to use silver for 2000L Fuel Tank based on prototype test of Rafale C01 and to add a little more variation of color.
![Album image #11 Album image #11](/albums/img/1/9/7/1696197-133058-80-720.jpg)
preshaded with light grey
![Album image #12 Album image #12](/albums/img/1/9/8/1696198-133058-75-720.jpg)
added custom pitot from melted sprue, better than nothing.
![Album image #13 Album image #13](/albums/img/1/9/9/1696199-133058-14-720.jpg)
painted with a mix of Tamiya black, hull red, and light grey. added 2nd layer of the same mix with more hull red, hoping to give some subtle 'sun-kissed' surface (It doesn't seem to work, I might add 3rd layer of hull red slightly). but moving on and let the paint cure for now.
![Album image #14 Album image #14](/albums/img/1/5/7/1707157-133058-62-720.jpg)
Adding more preshading and a bit of hull red.
![Album image #15 Album image #15](/albums/img/1/5/8/1707158-133058-62-720.jpg)
Adding more preshading, later will be painted mixture of flat black, hull red, and grey.

All parts are assembled, I am quite satisfied with how the paint turn out for first time painting in RAM scheme, although still far from perfect.
![Album image #20 Album image #20](/albums/img/1/7/2/1707172-133058-36-720.jpg)
the streaking from preshading can be seen.

Very dificult paint scheme, actually. Is the pilot still coming in or will he wait in the bar? 🙂

Yes Sergej, I am still learning to replicate the RAM paint scheme perfectly, but it seems that I still have a long road ahead 😀
As for the resin seat I ordered the one without the pilot, but it seems there's no data in scalemates on it yet.
