Yes they are. It's the first time I've gotten the Apache ordnance in any non-US modern aircraft kit.

On the deck of the Charles de Gaule. The photographer for Dessault posed the lineup of the series according to the model order. It’s from their website.

Nicely done Tom and cool subject - it's not a bad looking fighter the Rafale although I do prefer the Mirage 2000.

Assembled and painted all the struts and wheels. Painted all inside wheel wells and Magic air-to-air missiles white. Glued the wheel well sections to lower fuselage half. Masked the front windscreen.
I'm done for the night.
