Albert Moore Posted March 23, 2006 Share Posted March 23, 2006 Hi LT, I recently finished reading your AH-64 Apache Units Of Operations Enduring Freedom and Iraqi Freedom and am now inspired to build my Hasegawa AH-64D Longbow (w/ the 1-3 markings from TB's of course). I'm going to go with the asymmetrical load of one rocket pod, two Hellfire racks, and one external fuel tank. For the radar guided Hellfires, I'm thinking of using Radome Tan for the seeker head. Do you think that would be a good match? Thanks in advance! Cheers, Alby Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cobrahistorian Posted March 24, 2006 Share Posted March 24, 2006 Alby, I'd go with Radome Tan or maybe just a hair whiter. Pics I've got are in bright sunshine. This shot with a buddy of mine in it shows it to good effect. Rob was carrying a rocket pod outboard left, and three Hellfire launchers the day this pic was taken. Looks to be a mix of three Laser missiles to one Radar missile per launcher. He flew with 1-3 during the initial invasion, which is when the pics I have are from. Hope that helps!

mike_45 Posted March 24, 2006 Share Posted March 24, 2006 Cobra Fantastic book sir!!! As Liberator said I had no idea you were here. Keep up the good work. Mike Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cobrahistorian Posted March 24, 2006 Share Posted March 24, 2006 Thanks Mike! Right now I'm trying desperately to finish the AH-64 Walkaround for Squadron, but studying for flight school is taking up 99% of my time right now. The Walkaround will be my last book for a while, at least for now. I've got several other things in the works, but I'm gonna concentrate on flying for a couple years (overseas deployments, etc) and should get back to writing by the time I make Captain. Have a good one! Jon Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Liberator24 Posted March 24, 2006 Share Posted March 24, 2006 That's great...liberator has passed out on the floor... An AH-64 walkaround for my 1/32 Revell... A man that writes awesome books, and probably has landed in my grandfather's backyard in Slocumb!!! AWESOME!!!!-sorry, it's friday and I am happy to see the weekend!!! :o Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Jon Hi Jon, Thanks for the info and pic. I'll try straight radome tan first, and then adjust it as needed. Thanks again, Lt!
