50sNavAir Posted April 20, 2013 Share Posted April 20, 2013 (edited) Am working on Hasegawa's 1/48 AH-64D - Beautiful kit. A PE "clothesline antenna" is included in the kit. Have seen photos of these on the newest D model Apaches - it's a long rod attached to the right side of the tail boom. Anyone know when these were added? Is it appropriate for this kit OOB? Or would other changes be needed along with this antenna?

Scooby Posted April 20, 2013 Share Posted April 20, 2013 I'm not sure on the Apache but the HF radio was mission specific on our helo's in Canada. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

50sNavAir Posted April 22, 2013 Author Share Posted April 22, 2013 Good point- so they might get retrofitted to earlier Apaches. -- I'd like to put this antenna on the Hasegawa modell , because it looks neat,. But I have only seen photos of it on tithe newest version of the AH-64 D, and the Hasegawa kit is an early version D. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
goose814 Posted May 31, 2013 Share Posted May 31, 2013 Good point- so they might get retrofitted to earlier Apaches. -- I'd like to put this antenna on the Hasegawa modell , because it looks neat,. But I have only seen photos of it on tithe newest version of the AH-64 D, and the Hasegawa kit is an early version D. 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. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
strikeeagle801 Posted June 1, 2013 Share Posted June 1, 2013 (edited) I'm going to be putting it on Aaron's when I get that far. Here's a pic I took last year of the ones based at JBLM. They were earlier-model Deltas (they are actually the first unit to stand up with Echos now) and they have them, as well as all the bells and whistles, so I would say you are good putting them on.
