salvador001 Posted October 9, 2017 Share Posted October 9, 2017 (edited) Hello guys, heres my AH-64E in 1/48 scale. The model is OOB except for some antennas that were scratchbuilt. Paints are acrylic Model Masters and weathering was done using Tamiya weathering set A and AK sand wash. Hope you all like it. Rod.

hawkwrench Posted October 9, 2017 Share Posted October 9, 2017 Wow, great job on your Apache. It looks awesome. All those antennas come with the model? Especially the egg beater? Tim Quote Link to post Share on other sites
salvador001 Posted October 9, 2017 Author Share Posted October 9, 2017 Thanks Tim. Yes, all those antennas comes with the kit, including the satcom egg beater, but the egg beater comes solid, not hollow, thats why i decided to scratch build it using fine brass sheet. Rod.

mike_45 Posted October 9, 2017 Share Posted October 9, 2017 Nice looking work sir. Does anyone know where this kit can be bought? Seems like it disappeared like a fart in the wind and its not really available anymore. Amazon has then occasionally for $100 plus. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

anvil6 Posted October 10, 2017 Share Posted October 10, 2017 Dude, that looks awesome. I bet if you took a picture of it outside with an airfield in the background, people would be convinced it's the real machine. You have raised the standard yet again - excellent work! -Ramon Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Headhunter88 Posted March 19, 2018 Share Posted March 19, 2018 IMHO Ossom !!!! Could you reveal how you made effect that some places of fuselage are brighter and some darker just like real.l one? Its a postshading? I am not talking about that sand effects from tamiya set. And which MM color was your basic paint? Thanks in advance Quote Link to post Share on other sites
