Can't really see any details due to the dark pic. I can tell that it is an AH-64D Longbow Apache, not an AH-64A model though.

Actually, believe it or not, that IS an AH-64A. It is the testbed aircraft for the Longbow radar. Unfortunately, that is the ONLY Longbow-equipped aircraft you can build with that kit. You can, of course build any A model with it. It isn't a bad kit for the A, but the Academy D's are VERY sorely lacking.

Looks like you're missing a couple Hellfires there.

Got any more pics?

correct, I built this kit some years ago and went ahead and completed the conversion to a D model Longbow myself, at the time the Hase kit was on the horizon but I took moresatisfaction from my conversion than the ShakeNBake Hase kit. The Acadamy kit has a simplified A interior with the Lonbow radar on top of the mast, as well as the short, pointed avbays that dont have the big grills like on the D model at the back end.

On my website I have in progress photos in the 1/48 gallery of how I built mine up, the interior was a mix of existing kit parts, Monogram seats and homemade panels.
