Another helicopter model to share with y'all (1/48th Hase AH-64D)
Posted by albymoore on Wednesday, July 21, 2004 3:10 PM
Hi All,

I have another helicopter model to share, a Hasegawa AH-64D Longbow Apache. I built this when the kit was newly released, loved the hell out of it. Not much needs to be said, as it was a typical Hasegawa shake-n-bake kit (not losing surface detail while eliminating seams was a bit of a challenge however). Finish is Model Master Helo Drab. This model now calls the local Army Recruiter's office home. Once I get some close up pictures of the Israeli's new AH-64D Sharaf (have a few pictures of it during test flights, nothing close though), I'll build another one of these.









Cheers,
Albert Clown [:o)]

Hi Albert,

Wooah, what a nice looking Apache!!! That Recruiter has a full time job just keeping prospective boots from touching it, I bet! Big Smile [:D]

Thanks for the post!

SCHWEET! Very cool. I've heard really good things about the Hase kit. Maybe I gotta start building in 48th!

Sign - Ditto [#ditto] I wouldn't want that thing barreling down on my position. I'm just glad it's on our side. Nice job, Albert.

I just thought I'd ressurect this particular thread and firstly say what a fine model this is, I recently bought the Italerai 1/48 version which apart from a little bit of flash is coming together very nicely, I really should have researched a little more as I have now discovered the seats should be black and not green as I have painted them - this I can correct but hey - trial and error !

Suffice to say Abymoore this is one of the best examples I've seen yet on the net, hopefully mine will be half as good .
