AH64 Apache 1:48 Academy

[greg74]

Welcome
By the way, the last Show I bought Apache was designed by Our Whirlybird SIG. This is an old set of Academy but I was able to shoot it with an equally old badge.
Construction started on the inside of course that is .... black, but the instruments are..... black and the rest is..... black - what a great range of colors. Fortunately, you can order it as a Model T Ford - in every color under the condition that it will be... black.
I will try to lead the precise relation but sometimes I forget about the camera and the lures of the construction - if you SCREAM

Excited to see you start this ugly duckling

[gosselin2112]

Ugly duckling. . . Lol. I am curious to see how you tackle this Academy model. I am still having nightmares from the recent Academy model I attempted to build. Seriously, I wish you the best. Looking forward to the build thread.

Some already painted pieces - first color - natural black, secound must be notnatural black or undernatural black... i hop when I finish - you see the difference

[spruecutter]

Off to a great start, good luck with the build

[Radzy]

I hope it won't turn into ... unnatural black
Ah those demons in my head

Looks great Greg!!!
That's quite the cockpit. Makes my Blue Thunder look like an old Volkswagen Beetle inside.
Well done buddy.

[greg74]

Thank You
- in the meantime I will try for better pictures - this month I buy a car so I do not know if I will be fine on a Nikon

What music are you playing on the background now?
"paint it black" from the stones?

Nice model there.

I live on the South Coast in Dorset and we occasionally have an Apache overflying the town...more often though we have Merlins and Wildcats as we are only about 8mins flying time from Westlands at Yeovil.

That is a pretty well detailed cockpit, Greg. Could you check the copyright on this Academy kit for me? I would appreciate it. Academy has really improved their model kits over the years. I might have to acquire this one some time.

[greg74]

Thats very very very old model - `92

[greg74]

Nd one more pict from last night - make on smartphone

[gosselin2112]

Hey Greg,

Thanks for providing copyright date. 1992 ain't that old Try building something from 1973!

I want to show you the final look of my 20 year old Apache.
My setup is not the best but a little bit you can see in these photos.

[greg74]

And some more....

That's really nice looking Greg!
A nice clean build.
