                        Hey All
                        I Just got the 1/48 Academy AH-64D



                        And was wondering if there has or is any color other than the standard greenish/black that the AH-64 wears?
                        Just wanna make something original but realistic..if ya know what i mean?
                        Thought if there where Apache's in Afghan or Iraq they might be different in color
                        Thanks
                        Robert

                        Not in US Army. Only comes in US Army Helo Drab. There are a few from one battallion of SC Army National Guard AH-64As that were painted in two-tone gray at a USMC paint depot as well, but it is a non-standard paint job.


                        Israelis have an interresting camo scheme though.


                        or an Israeli AH-64A:


                        Some other countries may have ither schemes as well, can't think of any others right now though.

                        At least one Army National Guard unit painted thiers gray before deploying to Iraq. There was a thread on this forum a few months ago, also check out cobrahistorian's new book

                        The 2 IAF schemes are for the AH-64D(top) and AH-64A(bot). The D scheme is a brown and sand with some light gray on the bottom. You can just see the light gray on the front of the radar alt faring. Of note, the D picture shows the new antenna dome on the wing tip. This picture was taken at Willy before shipment to Israel.

                        Currently doing a Google search for JGSDF AH-64Ds and no joy so far. Does anyone know if those would carry the same green, tan and black camouflage scheme as JGSDF AH-1s and UH-60s? I think the Hasegawa kit with those markings denotes such a scheme but I don't know if that was conjecture.

                        Here are some images I've found thus far:

                        Hey, what's up with changing the name of your post without asking a new question?!?!?

                        Just kidding. I have no real idea of any differances, but I am sure there are unless they are a reboxing of one another.

                        If you do post this as a new topic, you will probably get better and more replies. Your initial post and question doesn't make sense now with the title.

                        The British Army has purchased a number of Longbows. I don't know what the colour scheme is - I suspect dark green and grey. Not very exciting, I know.
