Academy 12368 - 1/48 Rafale M Marine Nationale Overview

The Rafale M is a cornerstone of French naval aviation, prized for its multirole capability and modern systems. This 1/48 kit from Academy recreates the Rafale M in scale, giving modelers a faithful base for a realistic carrier-capable fighter replica.

Precision Moulding and Cockpit Detail

Parts are engineered for accurate panel lines and aerodynamic shapes, with particular attention to the cockpit and intake areas. The kit includes decal sheets that let builders choose from several authentic marking schemes to match different squadron liveries.

Assembly Level and Display Quality

Recommended for modelers with some prior experience, the Academy 12368 assembly rewards careful work with a high-quality finished model. Completed builds make strong display pieces for modern military collections and shelf scenes.

Specifications

  • Scale: 1/48
  • Material: Plastic
  • Paint and Glue: Required (not included)
  • Decals: Included for multiple versions
While not aimed at complete beginners, modelers with basic skills can complete the kit if they take their time and use reference photos. Some sanding and careful fitting is needed.
The kit requires a range of greys and anti-glare tones typical of carrier aircraft. Check the decal sheet and reference images to match squadron markings and camouflage accurately.
Aftermarket sets such as photo-etched parts and resin cockpits can improve realism, but the stock kit already offers strong surface detail for a satisfying finish.
