Beautiful work. Very nicely done. Are those rotor dust deflectors available on your site?

If you happen to have or are able to get one, the Revell Huey or Cobra kits both came with an engine and transmission. Since they are 1/32, the engine may fit better.

Another thing to keep in mind if you're modeling it with the canopies open. The gunners left seat armor (which is modeled as one piece) was in two pieces, with the forward half of it attached to the canopy, to help give him access into his seat. Also, the gunners right side seat armor shouldn't be chamfered but squared off.

All photos of the AH-64D I've seen show this antenna. Also, AH-64A had this antenna retrofitted. Airliners.net has many photos showing this on both models. Hope this helps.

Does this mean that this edition is different from earlier ones?

You can build it oob with no problems. There would only be an issue if the main and tail rotors were turning at the same time. Then they would strike each other. Short of motorizing it, they can be positioned however you'd like without issue.

Wow, you just beat me to it. Actually, it may have been one of your posts where I read that.

CMK has a resin set that contains a plug to lengthen the tailboom. However, that being said, I just recently read somewhere on-line that the tailboom on the 1/48 Revell/Monogram Mi-24 kit is not short at all, but that the vertical stabilizer is not at the correct angle. It should be more swept back than it is on the kit. I verified this by laying one of the fuselage halves on a 1/48 scale drawing and sure enough the tailboom was the correct length but the vertical stab was off. You would have to fabricate a new vertical stab to correct it as opposed to just cutting and inserting the plug. Hope

CMK also make some nice resin add-ons. They also include an extension for the tailboom to lengthen it.

Awesome. That's the one. Thank you for that. It brings back some memories

Back in the early 80's I bought a helicopter kit that I've never seen since, not even any photos on the net, and can't remember who made it. I want to say that it was made by Revell, but I'm not sure. Here's what I can remember, it was about 1/32 scale, it was a UH-1D/H, it was supposed to be a rescue helicopter because I remember the picture on the box showed a white fuselage and vaguely remember rescue decals on it, and it was electronic with internal lighting as part of the kit using LED's. There was a round, clear frosted radar screen on the pedestal that was lit from behind with a green L

Do any of the AH-64A have or are going to get the MTADS?

I was wondering what these items might be: Thanks for any help.

Thanks very much. If no one else jumps in, I'll do that. Gus

I have the AMP OH-6A but it does not have any instructions for the photoetch. If anyone can provide a scan of it, it would be very much appreciated. Thanks for any assistance. Gus
