Hasegawa AH-64D Apache Longbow

[JMac]

My only chopper build was the 1:48 Monogram Hind when I was 12. I'M totally stoked to get into this box.

The last chopper I built I was about that age too Scott,....it was the Monogram Blue Thunder,....which was a Gazelle in disguise

Wish I could get that one again

Jaitea -Aoshima has a BlueThunder kit. Not sure on the availability. Review link below.

That Blue Thunder kit looks wicked!

Where are you guys finding the time to do multiple builds? Sheesh... Don't answer, I'll only get jealous...

I have no idea honestly...haven't started this 2nd one yet. I like having one kit in paint and anther in build - I can switch if I get bored.

I have the Monogram Hind in the stash, hoping to build it this year; wish I had the first one I built way back but it's long gone.

That Aoshima kit does look pretty cool.

I also have the Monogram Hind in the stash. I never built it as a kid. I picked mine up at a local club swap meet.
Not sure if or when I'll build it; I don't normally don't get too crazy about getting everything 100% accurate, but some online builds of the Hind go through huge efforts to fix things like the "hind twist", or the troop compartment.

My next heli will likely be a Lynx packing TOWs.

Depending on my level of chopper love after this Apache I might get some resin bits for the Hind...hard to say.

The Cobra bits are really nice for the Hind. If you dig far enough back in the WIP forum I used them on my shelf-queen Hind...

 

[Junkie]

Good to know, gonna take a look.

I've only been able to hit the bench late and don't want to mess up the Apache being so tired so I've started assembling some diorama accessories for now. I'll actually start working on the Apache this week.

I like the pilot dude in the background!

 

[nicholassagan]

Cool! So will this be a dio?

 

[Junkie]

Thanks.

Yeah a maintenance scene of some sort.

Looks like a sweet kit!

 

[JohnSimmons]

Yeah that does, and I'm liking the idea of the brake cables etc being added

 

[Junkie]

Thanks for ploughing through and watching. It is a great kit, loving it.

 

[adampolo13]

[Junkie]

Hey Todd. Great to see you here man. It's going to be a fun one.

Adam...same here. Not quite sure how to approach it. Mr. Surfacer maybe, bit of texture.
