Give your Hasegawa 1/48 Dassault Falcon 10 a smart French identity, courtesy of Model Art’s fresh decals for Aéronautique Navale airframes.
Not an obvious choice of subject for many, the Dassault 10 is, nevertheless, an interesting modelling subject… especially if you favour French aircraft. Hasegawa’s 1/48 kit was first issued in civilian guise in 1980 and has been reissued on various occasions, latterly by Revell. As these kits are still relatively easy to find, Model Art’s new decal set is worth considering if you want to build a Falcon 10MER.
