I am struggling along with the 1/32 Revell AH-64. I have filed, sanded, filled and replaced parts to get to a reasonable interpretation of an apache. I am by no means an expert on this subject as it is the first helo that I have attempted. As it stands now, I have the majority of the fuselage complete, base coat done in sprayed Humbrol 66 (grey olive drab) the cockpit painted (black with dry brushed instruments) and the weapons in primer.
Here is a pic from tonight after another sanding /filling/ washing exercise. It is on the line to dry out overnight.
In spite of the problems with this kit (bad fit, s**t instructions, flash, mould lines on every part), I am prepared to persevere and complete it
During the cleaning up of the kit, I lost some detail (not that it was worth keeping).
Back to the subject line of the post. I would like to replace the grills, lights, mechanical parts lost during the cleanup operation. I have some PE from my spares box and various brass and steel components to use.
I would like advice on how to cut out the existing parts and replace with PE,(grills) and general advice on weathering a helicopter.
Thanks in advance
