Ive thought about getting this engine for the past few days...without all the references I need, theres no way I can do this without scratch building things I dont even know exists, so Im going to squash this idea for a while...at least until I figure out if I CAN do it easily. Its something Ive never really tried before and Im having a hard enough time with aftermarket stuff as it is. -

I know I kind of abandoned this project, but Ill be restarting it here shortly and would like to know if you were intending to release a replacement set? I havent seen anything mentioned on your FB page regarding these, so thought I would ask... Also I have a bit more upgrades for the helicopter now too so once Im done with my AH-64DI Saraf and E variants, Ill be finally ready to start work on this thing again. -
Decided to build an extra set of engines to replace in one of my builds. Think it looks better than the others by far...still have to put the hydro and fuel lines on and some detailing later. Edit: finished connecting all the lines and managed to FINALLY get them all in the correct spot without breaking anything, losing anything, or smudging anything.

Another update on the Saraf: 120 gal fuel tanks added to the wings via neodymium magnets as well as the Spike NLOS antenna. The spike system is currently in work at the moment with a few problems being sorted out with new stuff...now to figure out why my Apache is sitting crooked.

took to the engine bays on the Saraf today to bust some work out on the nacelles. Engine fit as well to see how well things fit, and so far so good.

Got the avionics bay for the Saraf completed. This kit was the Quintas Avionics Suite for the Meng model, so had to do some VERY MINOR surgery for it to work. Nothing big, just cut some small things off and placed them where they belonged. Otherwise great fit.

well thats exactly what it was, thanks for the help.

Since the last time I posted, a flashlight wand I was using landed on my first E kit and smashed up the tail end really good. Its not all busted up, but the tail end will be a delicate task of rework now since I have to pull out some spares from my butt to install here. Busted a main really good too, but thankfully not much else to report on. Im going to put this thing in a corner for a bit and figure out what Im going to do with it and for the meantime Ill get the Saraf completed. Ive a few booboos to work out on that kit too, but nothing quite that serious either. Started putting the blade s

Some c130s have passenger windows that are covered over in other versions. Think of it as the difference between a 747-400 and a 747-400F where the windows were deleted on the F conversion (freighter). The cutouts are still there to save time and money on machining and blueprint modifications, but in place of plexiglass is skin grafts.
