Sysxii Posted October 19, 2021 Share Posted October 19, 2021 I just picked up the 1/48 Hasegawa AH-64A Apache and am planning to finish it as one of the Apaches that was part of Task Force Normandy that fired the opening shots of the Persian Gulf War in 1991. I'm looking for more information about their markings, serial numbers, etc. to make an accurate display. Also, I understand that they each flew with one fuel tank? Are there any after market options available for this type of fuel tank, or one from a different kit that would do? Thanks in advance. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Thadeus Posted October 27, 2021 Share Posted October 27, 2021 I'm sure You've already found it, but just in case, https://dstorm.eu/pages/en/usa/ah-64.html has a nice list of all serials. I don't know if all of them were TF Normandy. On dstrom.eu there's a ton of material on Desert Storm and Desert Shield. Good place to start. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

midnightprowler Posted October 30, 2021 Share Posted October 30, 2021 Are there any aftermarket decals for the A? I have the Revellogram 1/48 kit. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I only saw one reference to TF Normandy the last time I look and then just fell down the rabbit hole of looking at everything else on the site. On 10/30/2021 at 10:05 AM, Floyd S.
