marcinko Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 Hello gents, as the title says which are the most accurate kits available on the market now to build these machines ? Cheers Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Headhunter88 Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 Hi, the best models in that scale are Hasegawa sets. Please check link below, but unfortunately many of them are discontinued. http://www.1999.co.jp/eng/m/search?searchkey=1+48+hasegawa+ah-64 Then you could look for Revell and Italeri models. They are also very good but they have old sprues and they have many simplifies. You have also Academy kits but they refers only to A model and Longbow prototype. I've hope that helps.

rotorwash Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 I thought the AFV club 1/48 Apache was a repop of the Has kit. Pretty sure it's a repop of someone's kit though. Ray Quote Link to post Share on other sites
strikeeagle801 Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 It is the Academy kit. Aaron Quote Link to post Share on other sites

In 2016 I was wanting to buy an AH-64 kit and did not know which was the best, so I took photos of the fuselage sprues of the existing 1/48 kits to compare and visualize which had more details. This AFV CLUB caught my attention for being different (and expensive). This picture I have saved from the time. I remember reading several comments from modellers on the various kits that would be most cost-effective Revell. But I have not yet set one up to draw my personal conclusions.

Aaron Appears to have significant differences from the Academy kit, based on the pic above. Any have any additional info on the AFV kit? Doesn't appear to be a match with any of the other kits either. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
