flybywire Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 Hi! Does anyone have an idea if the intake trunking for the Rafale particularly the M version is painted in white or it has the same color as the airframe all the way in? The pictures I've seen on the net seem to have the same shade but it could just be the lighting effect from the sorroundings. Thanks in advance! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
scotthldr Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 (edited) Looking at various pictures, there doesn’t appear to be any contrast in the colours within the intake which makes me believe that they are indeed the same Grey all the way up to the engine faces.

The light reflection was just the right amount so that the true color around the demarcation line could still be seen clearly.. Thanks Jari!

Thank you scotthldr for you input! It make my job easier now that there will be no more masking to be done. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
