New Arrival: Trumpeter 1/72 Scale J-10CE & Rafale Set – Modern Air Rivals in Miniature
Trumpeter’s new 1/72 scale J-10CE and Rafale Set (TR1690) captures one of the most compelling modern air rivalries in miniature form — the Pakistani J-10CE and Indian Rafale fighters, two cornerstone aircraft of South Asia’s rapidly advancing air arms.
The Chengdu J-10CE, known as the “Dragon,” represents China’s latest export variant of its highly agile, delta-wing multirole fighter, now serving prominently in the Pakistan Air Force. Its entry into Pakistani service in 2022 marked a major leap in regional airpower capability, giving Pakistan an advanced platform capable of beyond-visual-range engagement and precision strike.
Across the border, India’s acquisition of the Dassault Rafale fighter from France brought a similar generational leap in technology and capability. The Rafale’s combat record, proven over Libya, Mali, and Syria, and its state-of-the-art avionics make it one of the most versatile and capable fighters in the world today.
By including both aircraft in a single kit, Trumpeter gives modelers a rare chance to build, compare, and display these two modern fighters side by side — a fascinating contrast between European and Chinese design philosophies in 21st-century air combat. Each model features Trumpeter’s signature attention to surface detail, panel lines, and ordnance loadouts, making this an excellent addition to any modern aircraft collection.
Experience the craftsmanship and history behind these two remarkable aircraft — and bring a bit of modern aviation rivalry to your display shelf.
