Hi. 2 more questions, this time strictly about AH-64A Apache version:

1. Which model is more correct Task Force Normandy configuration??

http://www.britmodeller.com/forums/index.php?/topic/234967578-ah-64a-apache-desert-storm-1991/

or

http://zone-five.net/showthread.php?t=13537

??

2. Why some of AH-64A's have on top left and right avionics sponson black square flat element's (i suppose that they are anti slip carpets just like those on wings).

Is it a early/late modification for whole fleet or only some of AH-64A'a had them??

Example without them:

This'one definately has it:

For 100% understanding links to models which authors also made them:

I've learned that different Unit's use different methods, even if they only vary slightly. Some had black non-skid, one that you showed had what appears to be the CARC colored non-skid. It appears the same effect, but, different coloring.

I hope some of these local experts can expand upon your question, because, from the things I have seen.....just about any combination is possible.

These non slip paints are very coarse paints,applied by brush

The units paint whatever supply they have,usually black

or olive drap colors,you can simulate wear from boots too

if you like,rarely you can see a perfect coat

Take a look of my wa of IAF ones too,if that helps

Now i see it. Previously i was reading your post on my smartphone and web browser didn't show such thing like link.

And now i can tell that i saw your work much earlier when i was looking in internet for WA for AH-64. Then and now i impressed with those pics.

Great job and now i know who was the author and i have contact to him :)
