Glider,
Zac Noble's a good buddy. Between him, Snakedriver here, and a few others, we're slowly but surely putting the Blue Max History together within the next few years. I've gotta get through flight school first, though! Say hey to Doc Jackson for me. He'll remember me as the kid that he and Zac took out and showed a good time around Ft. Hood.
I've got a few birds in Max colors right now, one AH-64A from the Afghanistan deployment and two AH-1G's from Vietnam, with a third building. If you need any Vietnam Max references, I've got a ton of photos (many from Snakedriver here) so lemme know.
Heads up on the IMEX Apache. Its really a crappy, poorly researched kit. I ended up scrapping mine, I was so disgusted with it. Had a better time converting a Revell 1/32 A model. I'm doing mine as 99-5136, which was the first Longbow I sat in at Ft. Hood. I've got some really great shots of 284 and 278, but I wanted to do a radar bird, so I went with 136. I also had the honor of putting the first Blue Max markings on the real 278, so she's got a special place in my heart!
Drop me an email off list if you get the chance at Cobrahistorian@yahoo.com or jonathan.a.bernstein@us.army.mil.
Take care and stay safe.
