Here's some photos of a buddy's Rafale that I'll hopefully be test flying shortly. We had it out to the field today and had a few last minute items that needed to be tidy'd up before the initial flights, so we just got a few shots of it for now.
It's got an AMT Netherlands Olympus HP and will have a full array of lights for afterburner effect and wing lights, etc. Dana Reiman (in the photo with me) is the builder/finisher of the model and I dreamed up the paint scheme. The colors are metallic green, blue and standard white. A few markings/decals should finish it off just right.
I'll try to post some in flight shots once it's up and trimmed out.

Absolutely stunning color scheme[sm=spinnyeyes.gif] You must be a creative dreamer for sure
I wonder how long it takes before this scheme appears on one of the Chineese ARF Rafale's with those excellent 3-view pics availiable

Hey Staale, lol, you're right about the color scheme, ahh, we'll see, doubtful it'd be duplicated, but who knows.
Got a few things to work out still but hope to fly this weekend. Test ran the motor today, whoa baby, tons of power, a bit much, but it's got such a cool sound!
Here's a shot of the engine bay, the Olympus HP is covered up here.
