Best Hasegawa 1/48 Apache for US and extras


Recommended Posts

Hi all

 

I am about to embark on a 1/48 apache AH-64D for the US build and I need your help

 

1. Which one of all the hasgeawa kit shall I use? 

2. Can I use the latest kitnofnthe japanese apache?

3. I am getting reskit cockpit and gin and possible hellfire. What else do you recommend?

4. Decals? That's a problem. Anybody any spares?

 

Thank you

Yes, you can view the instructions here.

The kit has the T sprue which should get you the latest US Army D according to the note at the MM link. The S sprue is not needed for US longbows but it has all the other sprues the US longbow kit has.

That kit doesn’t have the upturned exhausts (V sprue), so its not really the latest US D configuration, if that’s what you’re looking for.  But I think those exhausts are available in the aftermarket

Yes they are at Werner's wings 🙂

As I am not really familiar with the apache what do you mean about the upturned exhaust of the latest US configuration


The ones in this boxing.

Note that although the kit says AH-64E, those exhausts have been retrofitted to many US D models.

Werner's Wings will be coming out with decals, same as the 1/35th scale ones for the AH-64D/E.  I also have the upturned exhausts already available, as well as, M-261 rocket pods.
