Floyd S. Werner, Jr.

Since the early 1980s the color is FS34031. Floyd

It should go on the door. It is attached to the door and when closed makes the match. If you are building it with the canopy closed just leave it. Floyd

Maybe Crossedeyemodeler on EBay, John Smith has them. His 1/48th and 1/32 ones are simply works of art Floyd

Looks great Floyd

I have new decals for the Apache. Same markings as the 1/35th scale sheet. Includes markings for 22 aircraft and stencils for one. Available at wernerswings.com. Cost is $20 plus shipping. Don't forget the upturned exhausts and the M-261 pods while you're there. www.wernerswings.com//products/#Decals-148 Floyd

That is an AH-1F/S. I'm a happy man. Floyd

Happy to help. To answer your questions. 1) Yes, definitely after 2008 2) The cockpit is better in the Monogram kit, but I don't think it will fit because of the size difference. Worth a try at least. I'd love to be proved wrong. The Monogram interior is much nicer. Either way you'll have to scratch build the HSS rails on the inside top of the canopy. They aren't in any kit. I can send you some plans for 1/32 that you'd have to scale down 66%. I like the Monogram gun better too. I might release a 20mm upgrade, as well as, a new resin HUD but, you'd still need the Master Barr

I'm not a huge fan of the Fujimi kit (I think it is a little under scaled [could be wrong] and less detailed) however, it will get you where you want to go easier. If you use the Monogram kit, you'll have to reshape the front of the doghouse. With the Fujimi you won't have to worry about it. If you buy the Step III you'll have all the parts you need in one spot that should all fit. Note that the Fujimi kit has landing gear with the fairings over them and the Turks do not. I can't remember if the unfaired ones are included. You could steal them from the Special Hobbies/ICM kit.

Has me debating whether or not to resize IRENE! to 1/48 scale. I’m leery to invest the money and not get a return on investment Floyd

Got the kit recently and overall, a very nice kit. Here is my quick review. The kit does not appear to be the Seminar kit, but a brand-new molding. The box top is not what is in the box. This is often the case as the artist does not have access to the parts when they design the box top. I didn't know this until working with Kitty Hawk. Things that either aren't or are on the box top that shouldn't be. There is a pitot tube in the box, there is no IPS filter, onlyl the bell mouth. There is no SINCGARS antenna on the top of the vertical fin. Inside-There are no un

Agreed. It will be expensive but thinking the same thing

Werner's Wings will have a sheet in about two months. Floyd

www.wernerswings.com will have the upturned exhausts. The decals are getting ready to send off to Microscale so that should take 6-8 weeks. Floyd
