Rafale C "Dark Tiger" EC3/30 "Lorriane" NATO Tiger Meet 2019 in 1:72 scale
This is the Rafale C "Dark Tiger" EC3/30 "Lorriane" NATO Tiger Meet 2019 in 1:72 scale by Hobby master.
At the NATO Tiger Meet 2019 held at Mont-de-Marsan (13–24 May), France’s EC 3/30 “Lorraine” squadron unveiled a Rafale C painted in a dramatic “Dark Tiger” scheme—matte black with a tiger motif and D-Day invasion stripes—commemorating the 75th anniversary of Operation “Smoke Screen,” where its WWII predecessor laid down smoke over Normandy beaches. This striking display not only earned the “Best Tiger Aircraft” and “Best Operations Unit” awards at the meet, but also underscored how aviation heritage, powerful symbolism, and tactical interoperability converge—boosting public engagement with military aviation and reinforcing esprit de corps within and between squadrons.
Hobby Master has earned a reputation as one of the top-tier brands for die-cast aircraft due to its meticulous attention to detail, durable metal build, and rich historical accuracy. Collectors often praise their models for realistic panel lines, pad‑printed placards, functional features like removable canopies and landing gear, and authentic detachable ordnance—all hallmarks of their popular Air Power Series. Hobbyists consider Hobby Master “top‑notch,” ideal for collectors seeking museum‑grade realism and durable craftsmanship
