Heres the link to this project made some years ago, it was in a box and forgot about it for quite some time. It began life as an Apache helicopter 1/48 scale by Monogram. This was made for a friend who was a fanatic of the Japanese manga series when he lost interes I ask for the model back, I always found it very interesting.
It was made using technical drawings from a Japanese magazine covering the weapons of the series.
Hope you like it!!
