Apache Helicopter

[delta7]

Here is my take on a british apache helicopter, wanted to build one since reading Ed Macys books

It is based on the 1/48 hasegawa ah-64d with the british bits stolen from a revell model.

It is straight out the box and went together well tho the instructions were a bit vague and I had to rely on photos sometime

It is the first time I have done a helio and the first figures Iv included

Paint was tamiya acrylic sprayed from a revell starter airbrush

the helio colour was a mix of drab olive and khaki and green and brown and grey until I was happy , not sure how accurate but the shade seems to change with light on the real thing and I think its not bad

tamiya smoke was used to highlight exhausts and grills

the pilots camo was a desert mix of whatever I had

no weathering as I like it as it is

I have tidies up the ir since this pic and straightened the gun mount, macro photos show up every blemish !!!
