Dave Williams Posted October 14, 2023 Share Posted October 14, 2023 Were the AH-64E IMRU magnetic helmet sensors, and associated helmet, ever fitted to D models as an update, or were they on E models only? Also, did non-US AH-64E also get the IMRU, or keep the older system? TIA. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mr Matt Foley Posted October 16, 2023 Share Posted October 16, 2023 Dave check Facebook, there is a group there for the AH-64 Apache. Former pilots are members as are others in the know. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dave Williams Posted October 16, 2023 Author Share Posted October 16, 2023 Thanks, but no. I’m aware of the FB group, and have actually joined it, but I just do not like using Facebook. I’ll go without an answer before asking on FB. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

One of the best modeling reference pages on FB, in my very humble opinion. Got a great mix of RL pilots (including combat vets) and maintainers, talented modelers, 3D printing folk who continue to churn out awesome extras for these kits and AH-64 subject matter experts.

I joined it the other day for the same group...can't even post there, so seems kind of pointless to even use it now. Yeah I made a facebook page just for this and feels like I just wasted time.

Yeah I made a facebook page just for this and feels like I just wasted time. Why can't you post there? I know the owner of the page recently took it private (which I think is a great idea), so maybe he just needs to accept your request to join? Depending on when the guy is around, might take a day or two to get approved. That's the only way I could see why you couldn't post on it. Welcome to FB, shoot me a friend request and you'll thrilled to read all my rants about how the NE Patriots are garbage, see pictures of my dog and get fascinating info on what I had for dinner last night, lol.

utley Posted October 18, 2023 Share Posted October 18, 2023 I don't know why, I've asked in PM and still didn't get an answer. I wanted to ask about the armored glass fit, but my posts are hidden. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Mr Matt Foley Posted October 18, 2023 Share Posted October 18, 2023 Might that also be a privacy setting you have set up in FaceBook? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
utley Posted October 18, 2023 Share Posted October 18, 2023 not sure what setting I would need to check in facebook that would block my comments from posting, thats more of a moderator issue. I just want to know if more people were experiencing fit issues with the armored plate being too far forward in the cockpit and the canopy. Seems like its only in the E model kits; the Saraf Im building looks like it fits better but its still slightly too fwd. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
utley Posted October 20, 2023 Share Posted October 20, 2023 (edited) well, my posts are being automatically deleted there. just found that little tidbit out. anyways, I got what I needed from Simone Plai, and will be about another 2-3 weeks before I hear if he shipped or not. Hopefully the guy is legit, but a few ppl vouched for him at least. Edited October 20, 2023 by utley Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dave Williams Posted October 20, 2023 Author Share Posted October 20, 2023 Simone Plai is GTG. I got three cockpit sets from him. Did all my contact with him through email. He makes to order, and sent me a photo of my sets when they were done, before they were shipped. Arrived safely, but haven’t used them yet. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
utley Posted October 20, 2023 Share Posted October 20, 2023 I ordered an M193 for my AH-1Z, a cockpit set for a future Apache D (the new one being released soon), and some ground equipment for the AH-1Z - tow bars, skid trucks, tow trucks + something else I cant recall this moment. I cant wait to get back on the Zulu... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sarathi S. Posted October 20, 2023 Share Posted October 20, 2023 Does Simone have a catalog listed anywhere? Poking back through ARC threads isn't the most efficient of methods to figure out what he's got available. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
utley Posted October 20, 2023 Share Posted October 20, 2023 (edited) its on his facebook page. Ill see if I can recover it and Ill post it in a sec if I find it.

11bee Posted October 21, 2023 Share Posted October 21, 2023 (edited) Simone is the real deal, as is Shayne B (can't recall the spelling on his last name). They complement each other's products. I've got Simone's cockpit correction set, with M4's and racks and SATCOM antennas and air data sensors. Got Shayne's CMWS control panel, Hellfire sensor heads and the anti-collision light innards. Before my build is done, I'll be getting Shayne's rocket set and Simone's JASM's, Spike NLOS, the crazy looking MUMT-x antenna housing and the correction for the kit's completely screwed up M-DSA sensor.
